Before Operation
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 could interfere with
the operation of the machine or 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, remove the electric-start
button (electric-start model only), and wait for
all moving parts to stop.
– Do not put your fingers under the housing
when adjusting the cutting height.
Fuel Safety
•
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.
– Do not remove the fuel cap or add fuel to the
tank while the engine is running or hot.
– If you spill fuel, do not attempt to start the
engine. Avoid creating a source of ignition until
the fuel vapors have dissipated.
