WARNING 

DO NOT attempt any adjustments, maintenance, 
service or repairs with the engine running. Stop 
engine. Stop blade. Engage parking brake. Remove 
key. Remove spark plug wire from spark plug and 
secure away from plug. Engine and components are 
HOT. Avoid serious burns, allow all parts to cool 
before working on machine. Fuel Filler Cap and Vent 
must be closed securely to prevent fuel spillage. 
Wear heavy leather gloves when handling or working 
around cutting blades. Blades are extremely sharp and 
can cause severe injury. DO NOT use a cutting blade 
that shows signs of excessive wear or damage.
