MAINTENANCE SAFETY

In general

-Maintain machine according to manufacturer's schedule and instructions for maximum safety and best results.

-Park machine on level ground.

-Never allow untrained personnel to service ma- chine.

-Guards should only be removed by a qualified technician for maintenance or service.

-Adjust or repair only after the engine has been stopped and the fan has stopped moving.

-Disconnect spark plug wire(s) before doing any maintenance.

-Replace parts if worn, damaged or faulty. For best results, always replace with parts recommended by the manufacturer.

-Do not dismantle the machine without releasing or restraining forces which may cause parts to move suddenly.

-Provide adequate support, e.g. jack stands for lifted machine or parts if working beneath.

-Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.

-Clean up spilled oil or fuel thoroughly.

-Replace faulty mufflers.

-To reduce fire hazards, keep the engine, muf- fler, and fuel storage area free of grass, leaves, debris buildup or grease.

Fans

Do not straighten or weld fans. Replace dam- aged or failed fans..

Fuel

- Gasoline (petrol)) and die- WARNING sel fuels are flammable;

gasoline (petrol) vapors are explosive. Use extra care when handling.

-Store only in containers specifically designed for fuel.

-When refueling or checking fuel level:

-Stop the engine and allow to cool;

-Do not smoke;

-Refuel outdoors only;

-Use a funnel;

-Do not overfill;

-If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine until the spill is cleaned up and vapors have cleared.

-Replace caps on fuel containers and tanks securely.

Sparks from static electricity can start fires or cause explosions. Flowing fuel can generate static electricity. To prevent static electricity sparks:

-Keep containers electrically grounded. Do not fill containers in a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Fill containers on the ground away from the vehicle.

-When practical, remove petrol (gasoline) powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If equipment must be refueled on the truck or trailer, refuel from a portable container rather than a dispenser nozzle.

-Keep the dispenser nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

-If fuel is spilled on clothing change it immediately.

STORAGE SAFETY

-Stop the engine and allow to cool before storing.

-Drain the fuel tank outdoors only.

-Store fuel in an approved container in a cool, dry place.

-Keep the machine and fuel containers in a locked storage place to prevent tampering and to keep children from playing with them.

-Do not store the machine or fuel container near an open flame, spark, or appliance, such as a water heater, or a pilot light.

-Keep petrol (gasoline) storage area free of grass, leaves and excessive grease to reduce fire haz- ard.

-Clean grass and debris from cutting units, drives, mufflers and engine to help prevent fires.
