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. Serious personal injury can occur
when fuel is pilled on yourself or your clothes
which can ignite. Wash your skin and change
clothes immediately.
Store fuel in containers specifically designed
and approved for this purpose.
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.
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
Never pick up or carry a machine while the
engine is running.
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 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.
After striking a foreign object, stop the
engine, remove the wire from the spark
plug, thoroughly inspect the machine for
any damage, and repair the damage before
restarting and operating the machine.
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.

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.

adjusting shut off the engine and make certain
all moving parts have stopped. Always make
sure the engine’s throttle control is in its STOP
position. Disconnect the spark plug wire, and
keep the wire away from the plug to prevent
accidental starting.
Have your machine serviced by qualified repair
personnel using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
machine maintained.
