LITTLE
WONDER

Fuel
-
Gasoline (petrol)) and die-
sel fuels are flammable;
gasoline (petrol) vapors
are explosive. Use extra
care when handling.
-
Store only in containers
specifically designed for
fuel.
MAINTENANCE SAFETY
In general
-
Maintain machine according to manufacturer's
schedule and instructions for maximum safety
and best results.
-
Park machine on level ground.
-
Never allow untrained personnel to service ma-
chine.
- Guards should only be removed by a qualified
technician for maintenance or service.
-
Adjust or repair only after the engine has been
stopped and the fan has stopped moving.
-
Disconnect spark plug wire(s) before doing any
maintenance.
- Replace parts if worn, damaged or faulty.
For best results, always replace with parts
recommended by the manufacturer.
-
Do not dismantle the machine without releasing
or restraining forces which may cause parts to
move suddenly.
-
Provide adequate support, e.g. jack stands for
lifted machine or parts if working beneath.
-
Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating
parts.
- Clean up spilled oil or fuel thoroughly.
- Replace faulty mufflers.
- To reduce fire hazards, keep the engine, muf
-
fler, and fuel storage area free of grass, leaves,
debris buildup or grease.
WARNING
Fans
Do not straighten or weld fans. Replace dam
-
aged or failed fans..
-
When refueling or checking fuel level:
- Stop the engine and allow to cool;
- Do not smoke;
- Refuel outdoors only;
- Use a funnel;
- Do not overfill;
- If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the
engine until the spill is cleaned up and vapors
have cleared.
- Replace caps on fuel containers and tanks
securely.
Sparks from static electricity can start fires or
cause explosions. Flowing fuel can generate static
electricity. To prevent static electricity sparks:
- Keep containers electrically grounded. Do not fill
containers in a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed
with a plastic liner. Fill containers on the ground
away from the vehicle.
-
When practical, remove petrol (gasoline)
powered equipment from the truck or trailer
and refuel it on the ground. If equipment must
be refueled on the truck or trailer, refuel from
a portable container rather than a dispenser
nozzle.
- Keep the dispenser nozzle in contact with the rim
of the fuel tank or container opening until fueling
is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open
device.
- If fuel is spilled on clothing change it immediately.
STORAGE SAFETY
-
Stop the engine and allow to cool before storing.
-
Drain the fuel tank outdoors only.
-
Store fuel in an approved container in a cool, dry
place.
-
Keep the machine and fuel containers in a locked
storage place to prevent tampering and to keep
children from playing with them.
-
Do not store the machine or fuel container near an
open flame, spark, or appliance, such as a water
heater, or a pilot light.
- Keep petrol (gasoline) storage area free of grass,
leaves and excessive grease to reduce fire haz
-
ard.
- Clean grass and debris from cutting units, drives,
mufflers and engine to help prevent fires.
