SAFETY

SERVICE:

• Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They are flammable and vapors are

explosive.

Use only an approved container.

Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine running. Allow engine to cool before

refueling. Do not smoke.

Never refuel the mower indoors.

Never store the mower or fuel container inside a building where there is an open flame.

Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always

place containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.

When practical, remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the

ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a portable

container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used, keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the

fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle

lock-open device.

• Never run a mower inside a closed area. The exhaust fumes are toxic.

• Keep nuts and bolts tight, especially blade attachment bolts, and keep equipment in good

condition.

• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.

• Keep mower free of grass, leaves, or other debris buildup. Clean up oil or fuel spillage. Allow

mower to cool before storing.

• Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an object. Repair, if necessary, before restarting.

• Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine running.

• Grass catcher components are subject to wear, damage, and deterioration, which could expose

moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. Frequently check components and replace with

original equipment parts, when necessary.

• Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves, and use extra caution

when servicing them.

• Batteries contain sulfuric acid. To prevent burns avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. To

prevent a fire or explosion keep sparks and open flames away from battery.

Before disconnecting the negative (-) ground cable, make sure all switches are OFF.
