Maintenance and storage
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
never store the equipment with petrol in the tank inside a building where fumes can reach
an open flame or spark.
Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, silencer, battery compartment and petrol
storage area free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease.
Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or deterioration.
Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors.
Improper maintenance, use of non-conforming replacement components, or the removal
or modification of safety components can damage the lawnmower and injure the
operators seriously.
