Safety with Gasoline-Powered Machines
GASOLINE IS A HIGHLY FLAMMABLE LIQUID. GASOLINE ALSO GIVES OFF FLAMMABLE VAPOR THAT
CAN BE EASILY IGNITED AND CAUSE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION. NEVER OVERLOOK THE HAZARDS OF
GASOLINE AND ALWAYS FOLLOW THESE PRECAUTIONS:
• NEVER RUN THE TOW-BEHIND DR FIELD AND BRUSH MOWER ENGINE IN AN ENCLOSED AREA
OR WITHOUT PROPER VENTILATION AS THE EXHAUST FROM THE ENGINE CONTAINS CARBON
MONOXIDE, WHICH IS AN ODORLESS, TASTELESS, AND DEADLY POISONOUS GAS.
• STORE ALL FUEL AND OIL IN CONTAINERS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED AND APPROVED FOR THIS
PURPOSE AND KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT, OPEN FLAME, AND OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
• FILL THE GASOLINE TANK OUTDOORS WITH THE ENGINE OFF AND ALLOW THE ENGINE TO
COOL COMPLETELY. DO NOT HANDLE GASOLINE IF YOU OR ANYONE NEARBY IS SMOKING, OR
IF YOU ARE NEAR ANYTHING THAT COULD CAUSE IT TO IGNITE OR EXPLODE. REPLACE THE
FUEL TANK AND FUEL CONTAINER CAPS SECURELY.
• IF YOU SPILL GASOLINE, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO START THE ENGINE. MOVE THE MACHINE AWAY
FROM THE AREA OF THE SPILL AND AVOID CREATING ANY SOURCE OF IGNITION UNTIL THE
GAS VAPORS HAVE DISSIPATED. WIPE UP ANY SPILLED FUEL TO PREVENT A FIRE HAZARD AND
PROPERLY DISPOSE OF THE WASTE.
• ALLOW THE TOW-BEHIND DR FIELD AND BRUSH MOWER ENGINE TO COOL COMPLETELY
BEFORE STORING IN ANY ENCLOSURE. NEVER STORE THE MACHINE WITH GAS IN THE TANK
OR WITH GAS IN A FUEL CONTAINER NEAR AN OPEN FLAME OR SPARK SUCH AS A WATER
HEATER.
• NEVER MAKE ADJUSTMENTS OR REPAIRS WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. BEFORE MAKING AN
ADJUSTMENT OR REPAIR, SHUT OFF THE TOW-BEHIND DR FIELD AND BRUSH MOWER ENGINE,
WAIT FIVE (5) MINUTES TO COOL, THEN DISCONNECT THE SPARK PLUG WIRE(S) AND KEEP THE
WIRE(S) AWAY FROM THE SPARK PLUG(S) TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL STARTING.
• NEVER CHECK FOR AN IGNITION SPARK WITH THE SPARK PLUG OR SPARK PLUG WIRE(S)
REMOVED. ALWAYS USE AN APPROVED SPARK TESTER.
• NEVER TAMPER WITH SAFETY DEVICES. REGULARLY CHECK THEIR PROPER OPERATION.
• NEVER CHANGE THE ENGINE GOVERNOR SETTINGS OR MODIFY THE ENGINE SPEED.
MODIFICATIONS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
• TO REDUCE FIRE HAZARD, KEEP THE ENGINE AND MUFFLER AREA FREE OF DEBRIS BUILD-UP
SUCH AS LEAVES, GRASS, OIL, GREASE, OR ANY OTHER COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL. CLEAN THE
ENGINE AREA AFTER EACH USE.
• NEVER OPERATE THE ENGINE WITHOUT THE MUFFLER. INSPECT THE MUFFLER PERIODICALLY
AND REPLACE IF NECESSARY. IF THE ENGINE IS EQUIPPED WITH A MUFFLER DEFLECTOR,
INSPECT IT PERIODICALLY AND REPLACE IF NECESSARY.
• NEVER OPERATE THE ENGINE WITH THE AIR CLEANER OR COVER OVER THE CARBURETOR AIR
INTAKE REMOVED, EXCEPT FOR ADJUSTMENT. REMOVAL OF SUCH PARTS COULD CREATE A FIRE
HAZARD. DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE SOLUTIONS TO CLEAN THE AIR FILTER.
• ALWAYS CHECK FUEL LINES AND FITTINGS FREQUENTLY FOR CRACKS OR LEAKS, REPLACE IF
NECESSARY.
