Maintenance 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.
•
Disconnect the spark-plug wire from the spark plug before performing any maintenance procedure.
•
Wear gloves and eye protection when servicing the machine.
•
The blade is sharp; contacting the blade can result in serious personal injury. Wear gloves when
servicing the blade. Do not repair or alter the blade(s).
•

Tipping the machine may cause the fuel to leak. Fuel is flammable and explosive, and can cause
personal injury. Run the engine dry or remove the fuel with a hand pump; never siphon the fuel.

To ensure optimum performance of the machine, use only genuine Hayter replacement parts and
accessories. Replacement parts and accessories made by other manufacturers could be dangerous,
and such use could void the product warranty.
