ASSEMBLY - SETUP
Taking the following precautions will lessen the
risk of injury and property damage.
Use extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is
extremely fl ammable and the vapors are explosive.
- Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other
sources of ignition.
- Use only approved gasoline containers.
- Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine
running.
- Allow engine to cool a minimum of 3 minutes
before refueling.
- Never fuel the machine indoors.
- Never store the machine or fuel container where
there is an open fl ame, spark, or pilot light such
as on a water heater or other appliances.
- Never fi ll containers inside a vehicle or on a truck
or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place
containers on the ground away from your vehicle
when fi lling.
- Remove the mower from the truck or trailer and
refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible,
then refuel the equipment with a portable container,
rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
- Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel
tank or container opening at all times until fueling
is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
- If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing
immediately.
- Never overfi ll fuel tank. Always wipe off any
spilled fuel or oil. Replace fuel cap and tighten.
