Maintenance
Safe Handling of Gasoline
To avoid personal injury or property damage,
use extreme care in handling gasoline.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and the
vapors are explosive.
• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other
sources of ignition.
• Use only approved gasoline container.
• Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the
engine running. Allow engine to cool at least two
(2) minutes before refueling.
• Never fuel the machine indoors.
• Never store the machine or fue container where
there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light such
as on a water heater or other appliances.
• Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a
truck or trailer bed with plastic liner. Always
place containers on the ground away from your
vehicle when filling.
• Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck
or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not
possible, then refuel such equipment with a
portable container, rather than from a gasoline
dispenser nozzle.
• Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the
fuel tank or container opening at all times until
fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-
open device.
• If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing
immediately.
• Never overfill fuel tank. Replace gas cap and
tighten securely.
• Do not start the engine near spilled fuel.
• Never use gasoline as a cleaning agent.
• If leaks arise in the fuel system, the engine must
not be started until the problem has been
resolved.
• Check the fuel level before each use and leave
space for the fuel to expand, because the heat
from the engine andthe sun may otherwise
cause the fuel to expand and overflow.
WARNING!
The engine must not be started when the driver’s floor plate or any protective plate
for the mower deck’s drive belt is removed.
WARNING!
The engine and the exhaust
system, become very hot during
operation.
Risk for burns if touched.
Allow engine and exhaust
system to cool at least two (2)
minutes before refueling
