SAFETY
Fuel
– Petrol (gasoline) and diesel
fuels are flammable; petrol
(gasoline) vapors are explo-
sive. Use extra care when
handling.
– Store only in containers spe-
cifically 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 en-
gine until the spill is cleaned up and vapors have
cleared.
- Replace caps on fuel containers and tanks secure-
ly.
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 petrol (fuel) is spilled on clothing change it
immediately.
MAINTENANCE SAFETY
– Do not put hands and feet near rotating parts or
in the openings. Contact with moving parts can
amputate fingers, hands and feet.
– Never attempt to unclog the intake or discharge
openings, remove or empty the bag, or inspect
or repair the machine while it is running. Shut off
the engine, wait for all moving parts to come to a
complete stop and disconnect the spark plug wire.
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 stor
-
age 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 hazard.
– Clean grass and debris from cutting units, drives,
mufflers and engine to help prevent fires.
– Never tamper or remove safety devices. Check their
proper operation regularly.
– Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, stop
the engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and
disconnect the spark plug.
– Maintain machine according to manufacturer's sched-
ule and instructions for maximum safety and best
results.
– Park machine on level ground.
– Never allow untrained personnel to service machine.
– Guards should only be removed by a qualified techni
-
cian for maintenance or service.
– Disconnect spark plug wire(s) before doing any main
-
tenance.
– 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, muffler, and
fuel storage area free of grass, leaves, debris buildup
or grease.
