SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Children
• Serious accidents may occur if you fail to
be on guard for children in the vicinity of
the machine. Children are often attracted
to the machine and mowing work. Never
assume that children will stay put where
you last saw them.
• Keep children away from the mowing
area and under close supervision by
another adult.
• Keep an eye out and shut off the
machine if children enter the work area.
• Before and during a reversing maneuver,
look backward and downward for small
children.
• Never allow a child to ride with you.
They can fall off and injure themselves
seriously or prevent risk-free
maneuvering of the machine.
• Never allow children to operate the
machine.
• Be particularly cautious near corners,
bushes, trees, or other objects that block
your view.
Maintenance
• Stop the engine. Prevent the engine from
starting by removing the spark plug cables
from the spark plugs or by removing the
ignition key before making any
adjustments or performing maintenance.
• Never fill the fuel tank indoors.
• Gasoline and gasoline fumes are
poisonous and extremely flammable. Be
especially cautious when handling
gasoline, as carelessness can result in
personal injury or fire.
• Only store fuel in containers approved for
the purpose.
• Never remove the fuel tank cap and never
fill the fuel tank while the engine is running.
