Preparation Safety Precautions
Preparation—Safety Precautions
1. Evaluate the terrain to determine what
accessories and attachments are needed to
properly and safely perform the job. Only use
accessories and attachments approved by
BEAST.
2. Inspect the area where the equipment is to be
used and remove all objects such as rocks,
toys, and trash which can be thrown by the
machine causing serious injury or death.
3. People, pets, and children must not be near
the area being mowed. Do not operate the
mower in their presence.
4. Never operate mower with damaged guards,
shields or covers.
5. All users of the mower must be alert and pay
attention to safety alerts, symbols, and safety
signs.
6. Be sure to inspect mower before each use.
7. Always use roll bar when possible and never
remove or modify the roll bar in any way or
form.
8. Check the controls and shields to make sure
that they are functioning properly before
operating. Do not operate if any are damaged
or missing.
9. Never operate with discharge deflector
raised, removed, or altered, unless a grass
catcher is being used.
10. Install, and maintain in working order, a spark
arrester before using equipment on forest-
covered, grass-covered, or brush-covered
unimproved land.
DANGER: GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE. Do not add
fuel while the engine is running or is hot. Keep open flames, sparks, and heat away
from the fuel and store fuel in containers specifically designed for that purpose.
ADD FUEL OUTDOORS ONLY. IF THE FUEL IS SPILLED, DO NOT START THE
ENGINE. Manually push the mower away from the spill and wipe up
immediately.
DANGER
Gasoline and other fuels—Safety Precautions
Use extra care when handling gasoline and other
fuels as they are flammable and vapors can
explode.
1. Only use gasoline approved containers for storage
and keep out of reach of children.
2. Do not fill fuel tank completely full. Overfilling may
result in fuel leakage. Leave a reasonable amount
of space for fuel to expand.
3. If fuel is spilled, do not start the engine. Move the
mower away from the area, wipe up the spill
thoroughly and wait until fuel vapors have
evaporated before starting engine.
4. Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or
on a truck/trailer bed.
5. Never remove fuel cap or add fuel when engine is
running.
6. Avoid prolonged breathing of gasoline vapors.
7. Never refuel or drain the machine indoors.
8. Keep face away from nozzle and gas tank opening.
9. Keep gas and other fuels away from skin and eyes.
10. Never use the mouth to siphon gas.
11. Never refuel the mower until all moving parts on
the mower have stopped.
12. Never smoke when handling fuels and stay away
from an open flame where fumes can be ignited by
a spark.
13. Always place gasoline containers on the ground
away from your vehicles prior to filling.
14. Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed.
