GB
Keep a Class B fire extinguisher on hand when
operating this machine in dry areas as a precautionary
measure.
The muffler keeps the noise levels to a minimum and
sends the exhaust fumes away from the operator.
Do not use the product if the muffler is missing or
defective. A defective muffler increases the noise
level and the risk of fire. Examine the muffler regularly
to make sure that it is attached correctly and not
damaged.
Muffler and engine become hot and can cause burns.
Do not touch.
Do not modify engine. To avoid serious injury or death,
do not modify engine in any way. Tampering with the
governor setting can lead to a runaway engine and
cause it to operate at unsafe speeds. Never tamper
with factory setting of engine governor.
FUEL SAFETY
Fuel is highly flammable, and its vapors can explode
if ignited. Take precautions when using to reduce the
chance of serious personal injury.
When refilling or draining the fuel tank, use an
approved fuel storage container while in a clean,
well-ventilated outdoor area. While adding fuel or
operating the unit, do not smoke, and stay away from
sparks, open flames, or other sources of ignition near
the area of operation. Never fill the fuel tank indoors.
T o a v o i d s p a r k i n g o r a r c i n g , k e e p g r o u n d e d
conductive objects – such as tools – away from
exposed, live electrical parts and connections. These
events could ignite fumes or vapors.
Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before
filling the fuel tank. Never remove the cap of the fuel
tank or add fuel while the engine is running or when
the engine is hot. Do not operate the machine with
known leaks in the fuel system.
Loosen the fuel tank cap slowly to relieve any pressure
in the tank.
Never overfill the fuel tank. Because engine heat
can cause fuel to expand, never fill the tank to more
than 1/2” below the bottom of the filler neck. This will
provide space for fuel expansion.
Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely and
wipe up spilled fuel. Never operate the unit without
the fuel cap securely in place.
Avoid creating a source of ignition for spilled fuel.
If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine.
Instead, move the machine away from the area of
spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until
fuel vapors have dissipated.
When fuel is spilled on yourself or your clothes, wash
your skin and change clothes immediately.
Store fuel in containers specifically designed and
approved for fuel storage.
Store fuel in a cool, well-ventilated area, safely away
from sparks, open flames, or other sources of ignition.
Never store fuel – or a machine with fuel in the tank –
inside a building where fumes may reach a spark, open
flame, or any other source of ignition (such as a water
heater, furnace, or clothes dryer). Allow the engine to
cool before storing in any enclosure.
