1.  Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not 

alert to the presence of children. Children are often 

attracted to the machine and the mowing activity. 

They do not understand the dangers. Never assume 

that children will remain where you last saw them.

    a.  Keep children out of the mowing area and in  

   

watchful care of a responsible adult other than  

   

the operator. 

    b.  Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters  

   

the area. 

    c.  Before and while backing, look behind and  

   

down for small children. 

    d.  Never carry children, even with the blade(s)  

   

shut off. They may fall off and be seriously  

   

injured or interfere with safe machine operation.

    e.  Use extreme care when approaching blind  

   

corners, doorways, shrubs, trees or other  

   

objects that may block your vision of a child  

   

who may run into the machine.

    f. 

    g.  Keep children away from hot or running  

   

engines. They can suffer burns from a hot  

   

muffler. 

    h.  Remove key when machine is unattended to  

   

prevent unauthorized operation.

2.  Never allow children under 14 years old to  operate 

the machine. Children 14 years old and over should 

read and understand the operation instructions and 

safety rules in this manual and should be trained and 

supervised by a parent.

Safe Handling of Gasoline:

1. 

sive. Serious personal injury can occur when gasoline 

is spilled on yourself or your clothes which can ignite.  

Wash your skin and change clothes immediately.

    a.  Use only an approved gasoline container.
    b.  Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a  

   

truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always  

   

place containers on the ground away from  

   

your vehicle before filling.

    c.  When practical, remove gas-powered    

   

equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it  

   

on the ground. If this is not possible, then  

   

refuel such equipment on a trailer with a  

   

portable container, rather than from a gasoline  

   

dispenser nozzle.

    d.  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.

    e.  Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and  

   

other sources of ignition.

    f.  Never fuel machine indoors.
    g.  Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the  

   

engine is hot or running. Allow engine to cool  

   

at least two minutes before refueling.

    h.  Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more  

   

than ½ inch below bottom of filler neck to  

   

allow space for fuel expansion.

    i.  Replace gasoline cap and tighten securely.
    j.  If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine  

   

and equipment. Move unit to another area.  

   

Wait 5 minutes before starting the engine. 

    k.  To reduce fire hazards, keep machine free of  

   

grass, leaves, or other debris build-up. Clean  

   

up oil or fuel spillage and remove any fuel  

   

soaked debris.

    l.  Never store the machine or fuel container  

   

inside where there is an open flame, spark  

   

or pilot light as on a water heater, space  

   

heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other gas  

   

appliances. 

    m.  Allow a machine to cool at least five minutes 

   

before storing.
