FIRE HAZARDS:

Use extra care when handling gasoline and other
fuels. They are flammable and vapors are explosive.

Store all fuel in approved containers specifically
designed for that purpose.

Allow engine to cool before refueling. Never remove
fuel cap or add fuel with engine running.

Do not smoke while refueling or operating the mower.

To reduce fire hazard, keep mower free of grass,
leaves and other debris build-up.

If gasoline is spilled, do not attempt to start the
engine.  Move mower away from the area of the spill.
Do not create any source of ignition until gas vapors
have dissipated.  Wipe up spilled fuel and dispose of
waste properly.

If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.

Before storing, allow mower to cool.  Clean fuel and
oil spillage.

Never store the mower or fuel container inside a
building where there is an open flame.

Failure to observe the following safety instructions

could result in serious injury or death.
