When refilling or draining the fuel tank, use an
approved fuel storage container while in a clean,
well-ventilated outdoor. Do not smoke, or allow
sparks, open flames or other sources of ignition
near the area while adding fuel or operating the
unit. Never fill fuel tank indoors.
Keep grounded conductive objects, such as tools,
away from exposed, live electrical parts and
connections to avoid sparking or arcing. These
events could ignite fumes or vapors.
Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before
filling the fuel tank. Never remove the cap of the
fuel tank or add fuel while the engine is running
or when the engine is hot. Do not operate the
machine with known leaks in the fuel system.
Loose the fuel tank cap slowly to relieve any
pressure in the tank.
Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than
12.5mm (1/2” ) below the bottom of the filler neck
to provide space for expansion as the heat of the
engine can cause fuel to expand.
Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely
and wipe up spilled fuel. Never operate the unit
without the fuel cap securely in place.
Avoid creating a source of ignition for spilled fuel.
If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine
but move the machine away from the area of
spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition
until fuel vapors have dissipated.
Store fuel in containers specifically designed and
approved for this purpose.
Store fuel in a cool, well-ventilated area, safely
away from sparks, open flames or other sources
of ignition.
Never store fuel or machine with fuel in the tank
inside a building where fumes may reach a spark,
open flame, or other sources of ignition, such as a
water heater, furnace, clothes dryer and the like.
Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
Machine use and care
Position the machine in such a way that it can not
move during maintenance, cleaning, adjustment,
assembly of accessories or spare parts, as well as
under storage.
Do not force the machine. Use the correct machine
for your application. The correct machine will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
Do not change the engine governor settings or
over-speed the engine. The governor controls the
maximum safe operating speed of the engine.
Do not run the engine at a high speed when you
are not working.
Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts.
Avoid contact with hot fuel, oil, exhaust fumes and
hot surfaces. Do not touch the engine or muffler.
These parts get extremely hot from operation.
They remain hot for a short time after you turn off
the unit. Allow the engine to cool before doing
maintenance or making adjustments.
If the machine should start to make an unusual
noise or vibration, immediately shut off the engine,
disconnect the spark plug wire, and check for the
cause. Unusual noise or vibration is generally
warning of trouble.
Use only attachments and accessories approved
by the manufacturer. Failure to do so can result
in personal injury.
Maintain the machine. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the machine’s
operation. If damaged, have the machine repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained equipment.
Keep the engine and muffler free of grass, leaves,
excessive grease or carbon build up to reduce the
chance of a fire hazard.
Never douse or squirt the unit with water or any
other liquid. Keep handles dry, clean and free from
debris. Clean after each use.
Observe proper disposal laws and regulations for
gas, oil, etc. to protect the environment.
Store idle machine out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
machine or these instructions to operate it. Machine
is dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Service
Before cleaning, repair, inspecting, or adjusting,
shut off the engine and make certain all moving
parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug
wire, and keep the wire away from the plug to
prevent accidental starting.
