Safety Precautions
UNDERSTAND YOUR CYLINDER MOWER
Read and understand the owner’s manual and labels affixed
to the Cylinder Mower. Learn its application and limitations as
well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to it.
DRUGS, ALCOHOL AND MEDICATION
Do not operate the Cylinder Mower while under the influence
of drugs, alcohol, or any medication that could affect your
ability to use it properly.
1. Your Cylinder Mower is a piece of power equipment, not
a toy, and should be operated with extreme caution at all
times.
2. Children should never be allowed to operate the Cylinder
Mower. Only persons acquainted with the rules of safe
operation set forth in this manual should be allowed to
operate the machine.
3. Read the complete manual to fully under-
stand the function of all the accessories and
controls.
4. Keep other people, children and pets well
away from the area of operation as there is
a risk of objects being thrown out during
operation.
5. Do not stand in front of the machine when
starting the engine or when the machine is
running.
6
Wear hearing and eye protection.
7. Do not operate the machine barefoot or with
open sandals. Quality footwear is recom-
mended.
8. Do not wear loose fitting clothing that could become
caught in the moving parts of the machine.
9. Do not place feet or hands on or near the blades while
the engine is running.
10. Do not attempt to adjust the blades when the engine is
running.
11. Do not leave the machine unattended when the engine is
running.
12. Check the fuel supply before starting the
engine. Do not fill the fuel tank with the
machine indoors, while the engine is run-
ning or while the engine is hot. Replace the
fuel cap securely, and wipe off any spilled
petrol before starting the engine.
Warning!
Petrol is extremely flammable; spilled fuel can cause a
fire or explosion.
13. Do not run the machine indoors. Engine
exhaust gases are deadly poisonous.
14. Do not touch the engine muffler during or
after operation of the machine. It is extreme-
ly hot and can cause severe burns.
15. Do not change the engine governor speed
setting. Over-revving of engine can damage
the machine and endanger the operator.
16. Before doing maintenance on the machine,
remove the spark plug wire and ground it to
the engine block for added safety.
17. Do not attempt to remove debris from the blades without
stopping the engine and removing the spark plug wire for
added safety. Make sure the blades have stopped com-
pletely before attempting to clear the debris.
18. Keep all bolts and fasteners on the machine tight and
check them at regular intervals.
19. Do not leave the machine exposed to the weather. Use
the grass catcher to cover the motor— even when stored
indoors.
20. Do not store the machine inside a building with petrol in
the tank where fumes can reach an open flame or spark.
Allow the engine to cool completely before storing inside
any enclosure.
Important!
The engine is shipped WITHOUT FUEL or OIL. After
assembly, fill engine with petrol and oil as
instructed in the separate engine manual packed with
your unit. Running your mower with insufficient oil will
damage the engine and invalidate your warranty.
