Keep Shields in Place
MOWER SAFETY
Guards and shields are designed to protect you from being hit by
thrown objects and from touching hot engine parts and moving
components. For your safety and the safety of others, keep all
shields in place when the engine is running.
Refuel with Care
Gasoline is extremely flammable and gasoline vapor can
explode. Refuel only outdoors, in a well-ventilated area, with the
engine OFF. If the engine has been running, allow it to cool.
Never smoke near gasoline, and keep other flames and sparks
away. Always store gasoline in an approved container.
Wear Protective Clothing
Wearing protective clothing will reduce your risk of injury. Long
pants and eye protection reduce the risk of injuries from thrown
objects. Sturdy shoes with aggressive soles will help protect your
feet and give you better traction on slopes or uneven ground.
Turn Engine Off When Not Mowing
If you need to leave the mower for any reason, even just to
inspect the lawn ahead, always turn the engine off.
