Before Operation Safety
General Safety
•
Become familiar with the safe operation of the equipment,
operator controls, and safety signs.
•
Check that all guards and safety devices, such as deflectors
and/or grass catcher, are in place and working properly.

Always inspect the machine to ensure that the blades,
blade bolts, and cutting assembly are not worn or
damaged.
•
Inspect the area where you will use the machine and
remove all objects that the machine could throw.

Adjusting the cutting height may bring you into contact
with the moving blade, causing serious injury.
– Shut off the engine and wait for all moving parts to
stop.
– Do not put your fingers under the housing when
adjusting the cutting height.
Fuel Safety
DANGER
Fuel is extremely flammable and highly explosive.
A fire or explosion from fuel can burn you and
others and can damage property.
• To prevent a static charge from igniting the fuel,
place the container and/or machine directly on
the ground before filling, not in a vehicle or on
an object.
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, when
the engine is cold. Wipe up any fuel that spills.
• Do not handle fuel when smoking or around an
open flame or sparks.
• Store fuel in an approved container and keep it
out of the reach of children.
WARNING
Fuel is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term
exposure to vapors can cause serious injury and
illness.
• Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
• Keep your hands and face away from the nozzle
and the fuel-tank opening.
• Keep fuel away from your eyes and skin.
