Never store the equipment with fuel in the tank inside
a building where fumes can reach an open flame or
spark.
Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, silencer,

grass, leaves, or excessive grease.
Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or
deterioration.
