Safe handling of fuels
•
To avoid personal injury or property damage, use
extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely
flammable and the vapors are explosive.
•
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources
of ignition.
•
Use only an approved fuel container.
•
Never remove fuel cap or add fuel with the engine
running.
•
Allow engine to cool before refueling.
•
Never refuel the machine indoors.
•
Never store the machine or fuel container where there is
an open flame, spark, or pilot light such as on a water
heater or on other appliances.
•
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.
•
Remove equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it
on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment with a portable container, rather than from a
fuel dispenser nozzle.
•
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank
or container opening at all times until fueling is complete.
Do not use a nozzle lock open device.
•
If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.
•
Never overfill fuel tank. Replace fuel cap and tighten
securely.
Maintenance and storage
•
Disengage drives, set parking brake, stop engine and
remove key or disconnect spark plug wire. Wait for all
movement to stop before adjusting, cleaning or repairing.
•
Clean grass and debris from cutting unit, drives, mufflers,
and engine to help prevent fires. Clean up oil or fuel
spillage.
•
Let engine cool before storing and do not store near
flame.
•
Shut off fuel while storing or transporting. Do not store
fuel near flames or drain indoors.
•
Park machine on level ground. Set parking brake. Never
allow untrained personnel to service machine.
•
Use jack stands to support components when required.
•
Carefully release pressure from components with stored
energy.
•
Disconnect the battery or remove spark plug wire before
making any repairs. Disconnect the negative terminal first
and the positive last. Reconnect the positive first and
negative last.
•
Use care when checking blades. Wrap the blade(s) or
wear gloves, and use caution when servicing them. Only
replace blades. Never straighten or weld them.
•
Keep hands and feet away from moving parts. If possible,
do not make adjustments with the engine running.
•
Keep all parts in good working condition and all hardware
tightened. Replace all worn or damaged decals.
Hauling
•
Use care when loading or unloading the machine into a
trailer or truck.
•
Use full width ramps for loading machine into trailer or
truck.
•
Tie the machine down securely using straps, chains, cable,
or ropes. Both front and rear straps should be directed
down and outward from the machine.
