WARNING!
The engine must not be started when the driver's fl oor plate or any protective plate for the
mower deck's drive belt is removed.
Safe Handling of Gasoline
To avoid personal injury or property damage, use
extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is
extremely fl ammable and the vapors are explosive.
•
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other
sources of ignition.
•
Use only approved gasoline container.
•
Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine
running. Allow engine to cool at least two (2)
minutes before refueling.
•
Never fuel the machine indoors.
•
Never store the machine or fuel container where
there is an open fl ame, spark, or pilot light such as
on a water heater or other appliance.
•
Before you begin refueling, minimize the risk of
static electricity by touching a metal surface.
•
Never fi ll containers inside a vehicle or on a
truck or trailer bed with plastic liner. Always place
containers on the ground away from the vehicle
when fi lling.
•
Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck
or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not
possible, 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 fueling
is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
•
If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing
immediately.
•
Never overfi ll fuel tank. Replace gas cap and
tighten securely.
•
Do not start the engine near spilled fuel.
•
Never use gasoline as a cleaning agent.
•
If leaks arise in fuel system, engine must not be
started until problem has been resolved.
•
Check the fuel level before each use and leave
space for the fuel to expand, as the heat from the
engine and the sun may otherwise cause the fuel
to expand and overfl ow.
SAFETY
Never fi ll the fuel tank indoors
WARNING!
The engine and the exhaust system
become very hot during operation.
There is risk for burns if touched.
Allow engine and exhaust system to
cool at least two (2) minutes before
