Before Operating

Danger

Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others.

￿To prevent a static charge from igniting the gasoline, place the container and/or mower directly on the ground before filling, not in a vehicle or on an object.

￿Fill the tank outdoors when the engine is cold. Wipe up spills.

￿Do not handle gasoline when smoking or around an open flame or sparks.

￿Store gasoline in an approved fuel container, out of the reach of children.

Warning

Adjusting the cutting height may bring you into contact with the moving blade, causing serious injury.

￿Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.

￿Do not put your fingers under the housing when adjusting the cutting height.

Filling the Fuel Tank

Fill the fuel tank with fresh unleaded regular gasoline from a major name-brand service station.

Important: To reduce starting problems next season, add fuel stabilizer to the fuel all season, mixing it with gasoline less than 30 days old.
