SAFETY

SERVICE:

Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They are flammable and vapors are explosive. Use only an approved container.

Never remove fuel cap or add fuel with the engine running. Allow engine to cool before refueling. Do not smoke while refueling.

Never refuel the mower indoors.

Never store the mower or fuel container inside a building where there is an open flame. If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.

To prevent fire and explosion caused by static electricity:

Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.

When practical, remove fuel-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a portable container, rather than from a fuel dispenser nozzle.

If a fuel dispenser nozzle must be used, keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel

tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

Never run a mower inside a closed area. The exhaust fumes are toxic.

Keep nuts and bolts tight, especially blade attachment bolts, and keep equipment in good condition.

Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.

Keep mower free of grass, leaves, or other debris buildup. Clean up oil or fuel spillage. Allow mower to cool before storing.

Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an object. Repair, if necessary, before restarting.

Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine running unless otherwise specified.

Grass catcher components are subject to wear, damage, and deterioration, which could expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. Frequently check components and replace with original equipment parts, when necessary.

Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.

Batteries contain sulfuric acid. To prevent burns avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. To prevent a fire or explosion keep sparks and open flames away from battery.

Before disconnecting the negative (-) ground cable, make sure all switches are OFF.
