Protecting Yourself and Those around You 

Safety for Children and Pets 

Safety with Gasoline-Powered Machines 

Gasoline is a highly flammable liquid.  Gasoline also gives off flammable vapor that can easily ignite and cause a fire or explosion.  
Never overlook the hazards of gasoline.  Always follow these precautions:

 

 

Never run the engine in an enclosed area or without proper ventilation as the exhaust from the engine contains carbon 
monoxide, which is an odorless, tasteless and deadly poisonous gas. 

 

Store all fuel and oil in containers specifically designed and approved for this purpose, and keep away from heat and open 
flame, and out of the reach of children. 

 

Replace rubber fuel lines and grommets when worn or damaged, and after 5 years of use. 

 

Fill the gasoline tank outdoors with the engine off and completely cooled.  Don't handle gasoline if you or anyone nearby is 
smoking, or if you're near anything that could cause it to ignite or explode.  Reinstall the fuel tank cap and fuel container cap 
securely. 

 

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children and pets.  Children and pets are often attracted to 
the machine and the vacuuming activity.  

Never 

assume that children or pets will remain where you last saw them.  Always follow 

these precautions:

 

 

Keep children and pets at least 100 feet from the working area and ensure they are under the watchful care of a responsible 
adult. 

 

Be alert and always turn off the lawn tractor engine and the DR Leaf and Lawn Vacuum engine if children or pets enter the 
work area. 

 

Before and while moving backwards, look behind and 

down 

for small children and pets.  You cannot see directly behind the 

collector box. 

 

Never allow children to operate your Lawn Tractor or Vacuum. 

 

Never allow children or pets to play in the collector.  If they become trapped in the enclosure, they may be exposed to 
temperatures similar to leaving a child or pet in a car with the windows closed on a sunny day. 

 

Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure your vision. 

This is a high-powered machine, with moving parts operating with high energy at high speeds.  You must use proper clothing and 
safety gear when operating this machine to prevent or minimize the risk of severe injury.  This machine can cut and sever parts of 
your body if they come in contact with the moving impeller blades.  Always take the following precautions when operating this 
machine: 

 

Always wear protective goggles, or safety glasses with side shields, while operating either your tractor lawn deck, the vacuum 
system, or when performing adjustments to your DR Leaf and Lawn Vacuum, to protect your eyes from possible foreign 
objects thrown from the machine. 

 

Avoid wearing loose clothing or jewelry, which can catch on the machine’s moving parts.

 

 

We recommend wearing gloves while using your DR Leaf and Lawn Vacuum.  Be sure your gloves fit properly and do not have 
loose cuffs or drawstrings. 

 

Wear shoes with non-slip treads when using your DR Leaf and Lawn Vacuum.  If you have safety shoes, we recommend 
wearing them.  Do not use the machine while barefoot or wearing open sandals. 

 

Wear long pants while operating your DR Leaf and Lawn Vacuum. 

 

Use ear protectors or earplugs rated for at least 20 dba to protect your hearing.
