SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Maintenance
• Stop the engine. Prevent the engine from
starting by removing the spark plug cables from
the spark plugs or by removing the ignition key
before making any adjustments or performing
maintenance.
• Never fill the fuel tank indoors.
• Fuel and fuel fumes are poisonous and
extremely flammable. Be especially cautious
when handling fuel, as carelessness can result
in personal injury or fire.
• Only store fuel in containers approved for the
purpose.
• Never remove the fuel tank cap and never fill
the fuel tank while the engine is running.
• Allow the engine to cool before refueling. Do
not smoke. Do not fill fuel in the vicinity of
sparks or open flames.
• If leaks arise in the fuel system, the engine
must not be started until the problem has been
resolved.
• Store the machine and fuel in such a way that
there is no risk of leaking fuel or fuel vapor
leading to damages.
• Check the fuel level before each use and leave
space for the fuel to expand, because the heat
from the engine and the sun may otherwise
cause the fuel to expand and overflow.
• Avoid overfilling. If you spill fuel on the
machine, wipe up the spill and wait until it has
evaporated before starting the engine. If you
have spilled fuel on your clothing, change your
clothing.
• Allow the machine to cool before taking any
actions in the engine compartment.
• Never smoke or go near open flames or sparks
while using the machine
• Ensure that nuts and bolts, especially the
fastening bolts for the blade attachments,
are properly tightened and that the
equipment is in good condition.
