MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

1.DO NOT store mower or fuel container inside where fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light such as in a water heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other gas appliance. Allow engine to cool before storing machine in an enclosure. Store fuel container out of reach of children in a well ventilated, unoccupied building.

2.Keep mower and engine free of grass, leaves or excess grease to reduce fire hazard and engine overheating.

3.When draining fuel tank, drain fuel into an approved container outdoors and away from open flame.

4.Keep all bolts, especially blade bolts, nuts and screws properly tight. Check that all cotter pins are in proper position.

5.Always provide adequate ventilation when running engine. Engine exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a deadly poison.

6.Service engine and make adjustments only when engine is stopped. Removed spark plug wire from spark plug and secure wire away from spark plug to prevent accidental starting.

7.DO NOT change engine governor speed settings or overspeed engine.

8.Check grass bag assembly frequently for wear or deterioration to avoid thrown objects and exposure to moving parts. Replace with new bag if loose seams or tears are evident. Replace slider or bag adapter if broken or cracked.

9.Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blades or wear heavy leather gloves and use CAUTION when handling them.

10.DO NOT test for spark by grounding spark plug next to spark plug hole; spark plug could ignite gas exiting engine.
