Never store the machine or fuel container where

there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light such

as on a water heater or on other appliances.

Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck

or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place

containers on the ground away from your vehicle

before filling.

Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck

or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not

possible, then refuel such equipment with a

portable container, rather than from a gasoline

dispenser nozzle.

Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel

tank or container opening at all times until fueling

is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open

device.

If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing

immediately.

Never overfill fuel tank. Replace gas cap and

tighten securely.

Warning

Exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless,

deadly poison that can kill you.
Do not run the engine indoors or in an enclosed

area.

General Service

Never operate machine in a closed area.

Keep all nuts and bolts tight to be sure the

equipment is in safe working condition.

Never tamper with safety devices. Check their

proper operation regularly.

Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other

debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage and

remove any fuel-soaked debris. Allow machine to

cool before storing.

If you strike a foreign object, stop and inspect the

machine. Repair, if necessary, before starting.

Never make any adjustments or repairs with the

engine (motor) running. Disconnect the spark

plug wire and ground against engine to prevent

unintended starting.

Check grass catcher components and the

discharge guard frequently and replace with

manufacturer’s recommended parts, when

necessary.

Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade or wear

gloves, and use extra caution when servicing

them.

Do not change the engine governor setting or

overspeed the engine.

Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels,

as necessary.

Safety/Instruction Decals

Important

: Safety and instruction decals are located near areas of potential danger. Replace damaged decals.
