SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
2. Spectators, children, fellow workers and animals
must be warned to stay back 50 feet (15m) while
the trimmer is in use. Stop the engine and cutting
head immediately if you are approached.
3. People working in the area near you should wear
the same protective equipment as the operator.
PREPARATION FOR THE USE OF THE
TRIMMER:
1. Never modify the trimmer in any way. Only
attachments supplied by Cub Cadet Commercial
or expressly approved by Cub Cadet Commer-
cial for use with the specific Cub Cadet Commer-
cial trimmer models are authorized. Although
certain unauthorized attachments are usable
with the Cub Cadet Commercial trimmer, their
use may, in fact, be extremely dangerous.
2. When transporting your trimmer in a vehicle,
properly secure it to prevent turnover, fuel
spillage and damage to the trimmer.
3. Always use the shoulder harness when using
rigid blades.
4. Adjust the shoulder harness and hand grips to
suit your size before starting work.
5. Always check your trimmer for proper condition
and operation before starting, particularly the
throttle trigger, throttle trigger interlock, stop
switch, cutting head or blade, deflector and
harness.
6. The throttle trigger must move freely and always
spring back to the idle position. The cutting head
must be properly tightened and in safe operating
condition. Inspect for loose parts (nuts, screws,
etc.).
HANDLING FUEL: The Cub Cadet Commercial
trimmer uses an oil-gasoline
mixture for fuel.
1. Gasoline is an extremely flammable fuel. If
spilled and ignited by a spark or other ignition
source, it can cause fire, serious burn injury and
property damage. Use extreme caution when
handling gasoline or an oil-gasoline fuel mixture.
2. Do not smoke or bring any fire or flame near the
fuel.
3. Fuel your trimmer outdoors or in a well-ventilated
area.
4. Select bare ground for fueling and move at least
10 feet (3 m) from the fueling spot before starting
the engine.
5. Gasoline vapor pressure may build up inside the
gas tank of a two cycle engine depending on the
fuel used, the weather conditions, and the
venting system of the tank. In order to reduce the
risk of personal injury from escaping gas vapor
and fumes, remove the fuel filler cap on your
trimmer carefully so as to allow any pressure
buildup in the tank to release slowly.
6. Never remove the fuel filler cap while the engine
is running.
7. Unit vibrations can cause an improperly
tightened fuel cap to loosen or come off
permitting fuel to spill. In order to reduce the risk
of fuel spillage and fire, tighten the fuel cap by
hand with as much force as possible.
8. Wipe off any spilled fuel before starting your
trimmer.
9. Check for fuel leakage while refueling and during
operation. If fuel or oil leakage is found, do not
start or run the engine until the leak is fixed and
spilled fuel has been wiped away.
10. If fuel spills on your clothing, change your
clothing immediately.
CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARDS:
1. If you operate the trimmer in an area that is
confined, or even partially enclosed, the air you
breathe could contain a dangerous amount of
exhaust gas. To keep exhaust gas from building
up, provide adequate ventilation.
2. The exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, a
poisonous, colorless and odorless gas. Breath-
ing the exhaust gas can cause loss of conscious-
ness and may lead to death.
