Before Operation

Before Operation Safety

General Safety

• Always shut off the machine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and allow the machine to cool before
adjusting, servicing, cleaning, or storing it.
• Become familiar with the safe operation of the equipment, operator controls, and safety signs.
• Check that all guards and safety devices, such as deflectors and/or grass catcher, are in place and
functioning properly.
• Always inspect the machine to ensure that the blades and blade bolts are not worn or damaged.
• Inspect the area where you will use the machine and remove all objects that could interfere with the
operation of the machine or that the machine could throw.
• Contact with the moving blade will cause serious injury. Do not put your fingers under the housing
when adjusting the cutting height.

Fuel Safety

• Fuel is extremely flammable and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from fuel can burn you and
others and can damage property.
-
To prevent a static charge from igniting the fuel, place the container and/or machine directly on
the ground before filling, not in a vehicle or on an object.
- Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, when the engine is cold. Wipe up any fuel that spills.
-
Do not handle fuel when smoking or around an open flame or sparks.
-
Do not remove the fuel cap or add fuel to the tank while the engine is running or hot.
- If you spill fuel, do not attempt to start the engine. Avoid creating a source of ignition until the fuel
vapours have dissipated.
- Store fuel in an approved container and keep it out of the reach of children.
• Fuel is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term exposure to vapours can cause serious injury and
illness.
- Avoid prolonged breathing of vapours.
- Keep your hands and face away from the nozzle and the fuel-tank opening.
-
Keep fuel away from your eyes and skin.
