Safety

Training

1. Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with

the controls and the proper use of the equipment.

2. Never allow children or people unfamiliar with

these instructions to use the lawnmower. Local

regulations may restrict the age of the operator.

3. Never mow while people, especially children, or

pets are nearby.

4. Keep in mind that the operator or user is

responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to

other people or their property.

Preparation

1. While mowing, always wear substantial

footwear and long trousers. Do not operate the

equipment when barefoot or wearing open

sandals.

2. Thoroughly inspect the area where the

equipment is to be used and remove all objects

which may be thrown by the machine.

3. WARNING – Petrol is highly flammable.

• Store fuel in containers specifically

designed for this purpose.

• Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke

while refuelling.

• Add fuel before starting the engine. Never

remove the cap of the fuel tank or add

petrol while the engine is running or when

the engine is hot.

face of slopes, never up and down.

7. Exercise extreme caution when changing

direction on slopes.

Do not mow excessively steep slopes.

9. Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling

the lawnmower towards you.

10. Stop the blade(s) if the lawnmower has to be

tilted for transportation when crossing surfaces

other than grass, and when transporting the

lawnmower to and from the area to be mowed.

11. Never operate the lawnmower with defective

guards, shields or without safety protective

devices in place.

12. Do not change the engine governor settings or

overspeed the engine.

Safety

13. Disengage all blade and drive clutches before

starting the engine.

14. Start the engine or switch on the motor carefully

according to instructions and with feet well away

from the blade(s).

15. Do not tilt the lawnmower when starting the

case, do not tilt it more than absolutely necessary

and lift only the part which is away from the

operator.

16. Do not start the engine when standing in front of

the discharge chute.

17. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating

parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all

times.

18. Never pick up or carry a lawnmower while the

engine is running.

19. Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug

wire.

• before clearing blockages or unclogging

chute;

• before checking, cleaning or working on the

lawnmower;

• after striking a foreign object. Inspect the

lawnmower for damage and make repairs

before restarting and operating the

lawnmower;

• if lawnmower starts to vibrate abnormally

(check immediately).

20. Stop the engine

• whenever you leave the lawnmower;

• before refuelling;

21. Reduce the throttle setting during engine shut

down and, if the engine is provided with a

shut-off valve, turn the fuel off at the conclusion

of mowing.

22. Go slow when using a trailing seat.

Maintenance and storage

1. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure

the equipment is in safe working condition.

2. Never store the equipment with petrol in the tank

inside a building where fumes may reach an

open flame or spark.

3. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any

enclosure.

4. To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine,

silencer, battery compartment and petrol storage

area free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease.

5. Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or

deterioration.

6. Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.

7. If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be

done outdoors.

Gasoline and Oil

Recommended

Gasoline

Use UNLEADED Regular Gasoline suitable for

automotive use (85 pump octane minimum). Leaded

regular gasoline may be used if unleaded regular is

not available.

IMPORTANT: Never use methanol, gasoline

containing methanol, or gasohol containing

more than 10% ethanol because the fuel

system could be damaged. Do not mix oil with

gasoline.

POTENTIAL HAZARD

• In certain conditions gasoline is extremely

flammable and highly explosive.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

• A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn

you, others, and cause property damage.

HOW TO AV

OID THE HAZARD

• Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors,

in an open area, when the engine is cold.

Wipe up any gasoline that spills.

• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.

Add gasoline to the fuel tank until the level

is 6 mm to 13 mm (1/4” to 1/2”) below the

bottom of the filler neck. This empty space

in the tank allows gasoline to expand.

• Never smoke when handling gasoline, and

stay away from an open flame or where

gasoline fumes may be ignited by a spark.

• Store gasoline in an approved container

and keep it out of the reach of children.

Never buy more than a 30-day supply of

gasoline.

POTENTIAL HAZARD

• When fueling, under certain circumstances,

a static charge can develop, igniting the

gasoline.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

• A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn

you and others and cause property damage.

HOW TO AV

OID THE HAZARD

• Always place gasoline containers on the

ground away from your vehicle before

filling.

• Do not fill gasoline containers inside a

vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed because

interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners

may insulate the container and slow the

loss of any static charge.

• When practical, r

emove gas–power

equipment from the truck or trailer and

refuel the equipment with its wheels on the

round.

• If this is not possible, then refuel such

equipment on a truck or trailer from a

portable container, rather than from a

gasoline dispenser nozzle.

• If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used,

keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of

the fuel tank or container opening at all

times until fueling is complete.

Gasoline and Oil

Stabilizer/Conditioner

Adding the correct amount of gas

stabilizer/conditioner to the gas:

• Keeps gasoline fresh during storage of 90 days

or less. For longer storage it is recommended

that the fuel tank be drained.

• Cleans the engine while it runs

• Eliminates gum-like buildup in the fuel system,

which causes hard starting

IMPORTANT: Never use fuel additives

containing methanol or ethanol.

Filling

the Fuel T

ank

1. Shut the engine off.

2. Clean around the fuel tank cap and remove the

cap. Use a funnel and add unleaded regular

gasoline to the fuel tank, until the level is 6 mm

to 13 mm (1/4 to 1/2 inch) below the bottom of

the filler neck. This space in the tank allows

gasoline to expand. Do not fill the fuel tank

completely full.

3. Install the fuel tank cap securely. Wipe up any

gasoline that may have spilled.

Check

Engine Oil Level

Before you start the engine and use the machine,

check the oil level in the engine crankcase; refer to

Checking Oil Level, page 28.
