SAFETY
MAINTENANCE SAFETY
In general
-
Maintain machine according to manufacturer's
schedule and instructions for maximum safety
and best results.
-
Never allow untrained personnel to service ma-
chine.
-
Adjust or repair only after the engine has been
stopped and the blade has stopped moving.
-
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.
-
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.
- Never alter of remove any safety devices on the
unit. Safety devices are incorporated into the
design for safe operation.
Blades
The blade is sharp and can
cut. Use extra caution when
handling. Remove obstruc-
tions with care. Wrap the
blade or wear gloves.
-
Only replace blade. Never
straighten or weld.
-
Keep other persons away from blades.
Fuel
-
Gasoline and diesel fuels
are flammable; gasoline
vapors are explosive. Use
extra care when handling.
-
Store only in containers
specifically designed for fuel.
-
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.
Sparks from static electricity can start fires or cause
explosions. Flowing fuel can generate static electric-
ity. 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 gas powered equip-
ment 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.
-
Replace caps on fuel cans and tanks securely.
