Fuel
- Petrol (gasoline) and diesel
fuels are ammable; petrol

sive. Use extra care when
handling.

specically designed for fuel.
MAINTENANCE SAFETY
In general
- Maintain machine according to manufacturer's sched-
ule and instructions for maximum safety and best
results.
- Park machine on level ground.
- Never allow untrained personnel to service machine.
- Guards should only be removed by a qualied techni-
cian for maintenance or service.
- Adjust or repair only after the engine has been
stopped and the fan has stopped moving.
- Disconnect spark plug wire(s) before doing any main-
tenance.
- Replace parts if worn, damaged or faulty. For best
results, always replace with parts recommended by
the manufacturer.
- Do not dismantle the machine without releasing or
restraining forces which may cause parts to move
suddenly.
- Provide adequate support, e.g. jack stands for lifted
machine or parts if working beneath.
- Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.
- Clean up spilled oil or fuel thoroughly.
- Replace faulty mufers.
- To reduce re hazards, keep the engine, mufer, and
fuel storage area free of grass, leaves, debris buildup
or grease.
WARNING
Fans
Do not straighten or weld fans. Replace damaged or
failed fans.
- When refueling or checking fuel level:
- Stop the engine and allow to cool;
- Do not smoke;
- Refuel outdoors only;
- Use a funnel;
- Do not overll;
- If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the en-
gine until the spill is cleaned up and vapors have
cleared.
- Replace caps on fuel containers and tanks secure-
ly.
Sparks from static electricity can start res or cause
explosions. Flowing fuel can generate static electricity.
To prevent static electricity sparks:
- Keep containers electrically grounded. 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 petrol (gasoline) 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 dispenser 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.
- If petrol (fuel) is spilled on clothing change it
immediately.
STORAGE SAFETY
- Stop the engine and allow to cool before storing.
- Drain the fuel tank outdoors only.
- Store fuel in an approved container in a cool, dry
place.
- Keep the machine and fuel containers in a locked stor-
age place to prevent tampering and to keep children
from playing with them.
- Do not store the machine or fuel container near an open
ame, spark, or appliance, such as a water heater, or
a pilot light.
- Keep petrol (gasoline) storage area free of grass,
leaves and excessive grease to reduce re hazard.
- Clean grass and debris from cutting units, drives,
mufers and engine to help prevent res.
