Safety with Gasoline-Powered Machines

Manual background WARNING! The items listed in this section will help you keep your

DRSCOUTFIELD and BRUSH MOWER running smoothly and, most importantly, prevent injury to yourself or others. Please review them carefully before starting your machine.

Do not run the engine in an enclosed area or without proper ventilation. Store all fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose.

Fill the gasoline tank outdoors with the engine off. Don't handle gasoline if you or anyone nearby is smoking, or if you're near anything that could cause it to ignite or explode.

If you spill gasoline, do not attempt to start the engine. Move the machine away from the area of the spill and avoid creating any source of ignition until the gas vapors have dissipated. Wipe up any spilled fuel to prevent a fire hazard and properly dispose of the waste.

Allow the engine to cool completely before storing in any enclosure. Never store the machine near an open flame or spark with gas in the tank.

Do not change the engine governor settings or modify the engine speed.
