SAFETY
Safe Handling of Gasoline
To avoid personal injury or property damage, use
extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is
extremely fl ammable 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 fuel container
where there is an open fl ame, spark, or pilot
light such as on a water heater or other
appliances.
• Before you begin refueling, minimize the risk of
static electricity by touching a metal surface.
• Never fi ll 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 fi lling.
• 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 overfi ll 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 fuel system, engine must not
be started until 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 and the sun may otherwise
cause the fuel to expand and overfl ow.
WARNING!
The engine must not be started when the driver’s fl oor plate or any protective
plate for the mower deck’s drive belt is removed.
Never fi ll the fuel tank indoors
