Ariens Razor Push Service Manual page 8

Fuel is highly flammable and its vapors are explosive.
Handle with care. Use only an approved gasoline
container with an appropriately sized dispensing spout.
NO smoking, NO sparks, NO flames.
Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer
and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then
refuel such equipment with a portable container, rather
than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or
container opening at all times until the fueling is complete.
DO NOT use a nozzle lock-open device.
NEVER overfill fuel tank. Replace gas cap and tighten
securely.
If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.
Accessories
Check grass catcher components and the discharge
guard frequently and replace with the manufacturer's
recommended parts when necessary.
Use only Ariens Company-recommended attachments
that are appropriate to your use and can be used safely in
your application.
Batteries
Avoid Electric Shock. Objects contacting both battery
terminals at the same time may result in injury and unit
damage. DO NOT reverse battery connections.
No flames, No sparks, No smoking near battery.
ALWAYS wear safety glasses and protective gear near
battery. Use insulated tools.
ALWAYS keep batteries out of reach of children.
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain
lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
Reverse connections may result in sparks which can
cause serious injury. ALWAYS connect positive (+) lead of
harness to positive (+) terminal and negative (–) lead to
negative (–) terminal.
A frozen battery can explode and result in death or serious
injury. DO NOT charge or jump start a battery containing
frozen fluid. Thaw the battery before putting on a charger
or jump starting.
Service
Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as
necessary.
Keep unit free of debris. Clean up oil or fuel spills.
DO NOT change engine governor setting or overspeed
the engine.
NEVER make any adjustments or repairs with the engine
(motor) running. *Disconnect the spark plug wire and
ground against engine to prevent unintended starting.
Allow engine to cool before servicing.
Moving parts can cut or amputate fingers or a hand. On
multiblade mowers, rotation of one blade will cause all
blades to rotate.
NEVER weld or straighten mower blades.
Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade or wear gloves,
and use extra caution when servicing them.
The use of non-genuine replacement parts or accessories
could adversely affect machine operation and safety.
Transporting Unit
Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine
onto a truck or into a trailer.
Secure unit chassis to transport vehicle. NEVER secure
from rods or linkages that could be damaged.
DO NOT transport machine while engine is running.
ALWAYS stop engine and shut off fuel when transporting
unit.
Storage
NEVER store unit with fuel in fuel tank, inside a building
where any ignition sources are present.
Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-
up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage and remove any fuel-
soaked debris. Allow machine to cool before storing.
For extended storage, shut off fuel and clean unit
thoroughly. See engine manual for proper storage.
