Before Operation Safety
General Safety
•
Become familiar with the safe operation of the equipment,
operator controls, and safety signs.
•
Check that all guards and safety devices, such as deflectors
and/or grass catcher, are in place and working properly.
•
Always inspect the machine to ensure that the blades,
blade bolts, and cutting assembly are not worn or
damaged.
•
Inspect the area where you will use the machine and
remove all objects that the machine could throw.
•
Adjusting the cutting height may bring you into contact
with the moving blade, causing serious injury.
–
Shut off the engine and wait for all moving parts to
stop.
–
Do not put your fingers under the housing when
adjusting the cutting height.
Fuel Safety
DANGER
Fuel is extremely flammable and highly explosive.
A fire or explosion from fuel can burn you and
others and can damage property.
•
To prevent a static charge from igniting the fuel,
place the container and/or machine directly on
the ground before filling, not in a vehicle or on
an object.
•
Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, when
the engine is cold. Wipe up any fuel that spills.
•
Do not handle fuel when smoking or around an
open flame or sparks.
•
Store fuel in an approved container and keep it
out of the reach of children.
WARNING
Fuel is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term
exposure to vapors can cause serious injury and
illness.
•
Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
•
Keep your hands and face away from the nozzle
and the fuel-tank opening.
•
Keep fuel away from your eyes and skin.
Attachments/Accessories
A selection of Lawn-Boy approved attachments and
accessories is available for use with the machine to enhance
and expand its capabilities. Contact your Authorized Service
Dealer or Distributor or go to www.Lawn-Boy.com for a list

Filling the Fuel Tank
•
For best results, use only clean, fresh (less than 30 days
old), unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or
higher ((R+M)/2 rating method).
•
Oxygenated fuel with up to 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE
by volume is acceptable.
•
Ethanol:
Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol)
or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) by volume
is acceptable. Ethanol and MTBE are not the same.
Gasoline with 15% ethanol (E15) by volume is not
approved for use.
Never use gasoline that contains
more than 10% ethanol by volume
, such as E15
(contains 15% ethanol), E20 (contains 20% ethanol), or
E85 (contains up to 85% ethanol). Using unapproved
gasoline may cause performance problems and/or engine
damage which may not be covered under warranty.
•
Do not
use gasoline containing methanol.
•
Do not
store fuel either in the fuel tank or in fuel
containers over the winter unless a fuel stabilizer is used.
•
Do not
add oil to gasoline.
Important:
To reduce starting problems, add fuel
stabilizer to the fuel all season, mixing it with gasoline
less than 30 days old.
