Service
Safe Handling Of Gasoline:
To avoid personal injury or property damage use extreme
1.
care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable
and the vapors are explosive. Serious personal injury can
occur when gasoline is spilled on yourself or your clothes
which can ignite. Wash your skin and change clothes
immediately.
Use only an approved gasoline container.
2.
Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer
3.
bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the
ground away from your vehicle before filling.
Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or
4.
trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible,
then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a portable
container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or
5.
container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do
not use a nozzle lock-open device.
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources
6.
of ignition.
Never fuel machine indoors because flammable vapors will
7.
accumulate in the area.
Never remove gas cap or add fuel while engine is hot or
8.
running. Allow engine to cool at least two minutes before
refueling.
Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than ½ inch
9.
below bottom of filler neck to provide for fuel expansion.
Replace gasoline cap and tighten securely.
10.
If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine and equipment.
11.
Move machine to another area. Wait five (5) minutes before
starting engine.
Never store the machine or fuel container near an open
12.
flame, spark or pilot light as on a water heater, space
heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other gas appliances.
To reduce fire hazard, keep mower free of grass, leaves,
13.
or other debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage and
remove any fuel-soaked debris.
Allow a mower to cool at least five (5) minutes before
14.
storing.
General Service:
Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper
1.
operation regularly.
Check all nuts, bolts and screws for proper tightness at
2.
frequent intervals to keep the machine in safe working
condition. Also, visually inspect machine for any damage
and repair, if needed.
Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, stop the engine
3.
and make certain the impeller and all moving parts have
stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground it
against the engine to prevent unintended starting.
Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed
4.
the engine. The governor controls the maximum safe
operating speed of the engine.
Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as
5.
necessary.
Follow this manual for safe loading, unloading,
6.
transporting, and storage of this machine.
Never store the machine or fuel container near an open

If the fuel tank has to be drained, do this outdoors.
9.
Observe proper disposal laws and regulations for gas, oil,
10.
etc. to protect the environment.
