FUEL AND MAINTENANCE
Always disengage all drives, shutoff the engine, and remove the
key before doing any cleaning, refueling, or servicing.
Gasoline and its vapors are extremely flammable. Do not smoke
while operating or refueling. Do not add fuel while engine is hot
or running. Allow engine to cool for at least 3 minutes prior to
adding fuel.
Do not add fuel indoors, in an enclosed trailer, garage, or any
other enclosed area that is not well ventilated. Gasoline spills
should be cleaned up promptly and before operation begins.
Gasoline should be stored only in sealed containers approved for
fuel.
Proper maintenance is critical to the safety and performance of
your unit. Keep the unit free of grass, leaves, and excess oil. Be
sure to perform the maintenance procedures listed in this
manual, especially periodically testing the safety system.

Safety
RETAINING WALLS, DROP-OFFS, AND WATER
Retaining walls and drop-offs around steps and water are a common hazard. Give yourself a minimum of two mower widths
of clearance around these hazards and hand-trim with a walk behind mower or string trimmer. Wheels dropping over
retaining walls, edges, ditches, embankments, or into water can cause rollovers, which may result in serious injury, death, or
drowning.
Operator Safety
ENCLOSED AREAS
Only operate this unit outdoors and away from
unventilated areas such as inside garages or enclosed
trailers. The engine emits poisonous carbon
monoxide gas and prolonged exposure in an enclosed
area can result in serious injury or death.
