restraining forces which can cause parts to move

suddenly.

 Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the

equipment is in safe working condition.

Check the grass catcher frequently for wear and

deterioration.

FUEL

– Petrol (gasoline) and diesel

fuels are ammable; gasoline

vapors are explosive. Use

extra care when handling.

– Store only in containers spe-

cically designed for fuel.

– When refueling or checking fuel level:

- Stop the engine and allow to cool;

- Do not smoke;

- Refuel outdoors only;

- Use a funnel;

- Do not overll;

- If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine

until the spill is cleaned up and vapors have

cleared.

Sparks from static electricity can start res or couse

explosions. Flowing fuel can generate static

electricity. To prevent static electricity sparks:

– Do not ll containers in a vehicle or on a truck or

trailer bed with a plastic liner. Fill containers on the

ground away from the vehicle.

– When practical, remove gas powered equipment

from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground.

If equipment must be refueled on the truck or trailer,

refuel from a portable container rather than a dis-

penser nozzle.

– Keep the dispenser nozzle in contact with the rim

of the fuel tank or container opening until fueling is

complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device

– Replace caps on fuel cans and tanks securely.

WARNING

BLADES

– Mower blades are sharp and

can cut. Use extra caution

when handling. Remove ob-

structions with care. Wrap the

blade(s) or wear gloves.

– Be aware that rotating one blade on multiblade

mowers can cause other blades to rotate.

– Only replace blades. Never straighten or weld them.

– Keep other persons away from blades.
