performance.
• Never store the equipment with fuel in the tank inside a building where
vapour may reach a flame or a spark or a source of extreme heat.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing in an enclosed space.
• To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, exhaust silencer, battery
compartment and fuel storage area free of grass, leaves, or excessive
grease. Do not leave containers with grass cuttings in rooms.
• Check the stone-guard and grass-hard catcher frequently for wear and
deterioration and replace if damaged.
• If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors and
when the engine is cool.
• Wear strong work gloves when removing and reassembling the blade.
• Check the blade's balance after sharpening.
• For reasons of safety, do not use the equipment with worn or damaged
parts. Parts are to be replaced and not repaired. Parts that are not of the
same quality can damage the equipment and be dangerous for your
safety.
• Whenever the machine is to be handled, transported or tilted you must:
- Wear strong working gloves;
- Grasp the machine at the points that offer a safe grip, taking account of
the weight and its distribution.
• Damaged blades and worn bolts are major hazards.
• Fuel goes off in about 3 - 4 months. If you find your mower does not
