Operating Safety

Please carefully read all of the safety instructions and decals
in the safety section. Knowing this information could help
you, your family, pets or bystanders avoid injury.
DANGER
Mowing on wet grass or steep slopes can cause
sliding and loss of control.
Wheels dropping over edges can cause rollovers,
which may result in serious injury, death or
drowning.
A loss of traction is a loss of steering control.
To avoid loss of control and possibility of rollover:
• Do not mow near drop-offs or near water.
• Do not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.
• Reduce speed and use extreme caution on
slopes.
• When mowing slopes, gradually work from
lower to higher areas on the incline.
• Avoid sudden turns or rapid speed changes.
• Turn up, into an incline when changing
directions on slopes. Turning down the slope
reduces traction.
• Attachments change the handling characteristics
of the machine. Use extra caution when using
attachments with the machine.

2. Use walk behind mower
and/or hand trimmer near
drop-offs and water.

Fuel Safety

DANGER
In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive. A fire or explosion
from gasoline can burn you and others and can
damage property.
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area,
when the engine is cold. Wipe up any gasoline
that spills.
• Never fill the fuel tank inside an enclosed trailer.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add
gasoline to the fuel tank until the fuel reaches
the base of the filler neck. This empty space in
the tank allows gasoline to expand.
• Never smoke when handling gasoline, and stay
away from an open flame or where gasoline
fumes may be ignited by a spark.
• Store gasoline in an approved container and
keep it out of the reach of children. Never buy
more than a 30-day supply of gasoline.
• Do not operate without entire exhaust system in
place and in proper working condition.
