Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and 
service as required.

Muffler, engine and belt guards become hot during 
operation and can cause a burn. Allow to cool down 
before touching.

Do not change the engine governor settings or 
overspeed the engine. Excessive engine speeds 
are dangerous.

Observe proper disposal laws and regulations. 
Improper disposal of fluids and materials can harm 
the environment and the ecology.

a.

Prior to disposal, determine the proper method 

to dispose of waste from your local office of 
Environmental Protection Agency. Recycling 
centers are established to properly dispose of 
materials in an environmentally safe fashion.

b.

Use proper containers when draining fluids. Do 

not use food or beverage containers that may 
mislead someone into drinking from them. 
Properly dispose of the containers immediately 
following the draining of fluids.

c.

DO NOT pour oil or other fluids into the ground, 

down a drain or into a stream, pond, lake or 
other body of water. Observe Environmental 
Protection Agency regulations when disposing 
of oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid, filters, batteries, 
tires and other harmful waste.
