If you leave the key in the ignition switch, someone could accidently start the engine and seriously
injure you or other bystanders.
Remove the key from the ignition and disconnect the wire from the spark plug before you do any
maintenance. Set the wire aside so that it does not accidentally contact the spark plug.
Engines can become hot when they are operating. Severe burns can occur from contacting hot surfaces.
Allow engines, especially the muffler, to cool before touching.
Debris, such as leaves, grass, or brush can catch fire. A fire in the engine area can cause personal
injury and property damage.
•
Keep the engine and muffler area free of debris accumulation.
•
Take care when opening the bagger cover to keep debris from falling onto the engine and muffler
