9.  Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than ½ 

inch below bottom of filler neck to provide for fuel 
expansion.

10. Replace gasoline cap and tighten securely.
11. If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine and equip-

ment. Move unit to another area. Wait 5 minutes 
before starting the engine.

12. Never store the machine or fuel container near an 

open flame, spark or pilot light as on a water heater, 
space heater,  furnace, clothes dryer or other gas 
appliances. 

13. To reduce fire hazard, keep mower free of grass, 

leaves, or other debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel 
spillage and remove any fuel soaked debris. 

14. Allow a mower to cool at least 5 minutes before 

storing.

General Service:

1.  Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated 

area. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an 
odorless and deadly gas.

2.  Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make 

certain the blade and all moving parts have stopped. 
Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground against 
the engine to prevent unintended starting. 

3.  Check the blade and engine mounting bolts at 

frequent intervals for proper tightness. Also, visually 
inspect blade for damage (e.g., bent, cracked, worn) 
Replace blade with the original equipment manufac-
ture’s (O.E.M.) blade only, listed in this manual. “Use 
of parts which do not meet the original equipment 
specifications may lead to improper performance 
and compromise safety!” 

4.  Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blade 

or wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing 
them.

5.  Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the 

equipment is in safe working condition.

6.  Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper 

operation regularly.

7.  After striking a foreign object, stop the engine, 

disconnect the spark plug wire and ground against 
the engine. Thoroughly inspect the mower for any 
damage. Repair the damage before starting and 
operating the mower.

8.  Never attempt to make a wheel or cutting height 

adjustment while the engine is running.

9.  Grass catcher components, discharge cover, and trail 

shield are subject to wear and damage which could 
expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. For 
safety protection, frequently check components and 
replace immediately with original equipment manufac-
turer’s (O.E.M.) parts only, listed in this manual. “Use 
of parts which do not meet the original equipment 
specifications may lead to improper performance and 
compromise safety!”

10. Do not change the engine governor setting or 

overspeed the engine. The governor controls the 
maximum safe operating speed of the engine. 

11. Check fuel line, tank, cap, and fittings frequently for 

cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary. 

12. Do not crank engine with spark plug removed. 
13. Maintain or replace safety labels, as necessary.
14. Observe proper disposal laws and regulations. 

Improper disposal of fluids and materials can harm the 
environment. 

15. According to the Consumer Products Safety Commis-

sion (CPSC) and the U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency (EPA), this product has an 

Average Useful Life

 

of seven (7) years, or 60 hours of operation. At the 
end of the 

Average Useful Life

, buy a new machine or 

have the machine inspected annually by an authorized 
service dealer to ensure that all mechanical and safety 
systems are working properly and not worn exces-
sively. Failure to do so can result in accidents, injuries 
or death.

Do not modify engine

To avoid serious injury or death, do not modify engine in 
any way. Tampering with the governor setting can lead 
to a runaway engine and cause it to operate at unsafe 
speeds. Never tamper with factory setting of engine 
governor.
