SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Maintenance

Never make adjustments with the engine running.

Disengage the drive units, shut off the engine and wait until all moving parts come to a complete stop before making adjustments, performing maintenance or cleaning the machine.

Disconnect the spark plug cable before beginning repair work.

Keep all components in serviceable condition and make sure all nuts, bolts, etc. are tight. Replace worn or damaged decals.

Remove the spark plug cable.

Be careful when checking work tools. Use gloves when performing maintenance work.

Never allow persons not trained in the use of the machine to perform service on it.

Always park the machine on even ground before performing maintenance or making adjustments.

Do not disassemble the engine. This can invalidate your engine warranty. Contact your dealer if you have any questions regarding service or guarantee matters. Follow all maintenance instructions.

WARNING!

Wait until all moving parts are completely still before performing maintenance on the machine.

Turn off the engine and remove the spark plug cable.

• Do not change the setting of governors and

 

avoid running the engine with overly high RPM.

 

If you run the engine too fast, you risk damaging

 

the machine components.

 

• Do not modify safety equipment. Check

 

regularly to be sure it works properly. The

 

machine must not be run with defective or

 

disassembled safety equipment.

 

• The muffler is designed to maintain sound levels

 

at an approved level and keep direct exhaust

 

away from the user. Exhaust gases from the

 

engine are extremely hot and may contain

sparks that can cause fires or burn the user.

Keep the machine clean.

Never use a machine with a defective muffler.

Reduce the risk of fire by removing grass, leaves and other debris that may have caught in the machine.
