Maintenance Safety
•
Disconnect the spark-plug wire from the spark plug and
remove the electric-start button before performing any
maintenance procedure.
•
Wear gloves and eye protection when servicing the
machine.
•
The blade is sharp; contacting the blade can result in
serious personal injury. Wear gloves when servicing the
blade.
•
Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper
operation regularly.
•
Tipping the machine may cause the fuel to leak. Fuel is
flammable and explosive, and can cause personal injury.
Run the engine dry to remove the fuel with a hand pump;
never siphon the fuel.

1. Shut off the engine and wait for all moving parts to
stop.

Important:
Before tipping the machine to change
the oil or replace the blade, allow the fuel tank to
run dry through normal usage. If you must tip
the machine prior to running out of fuel, use a
hand fuel pump to remove the fuel. Always tip the
machine onto its side with the dipstick down.
