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.

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.
