parts. 
• 
Read the Operator’s Manual and follow all warnings and safety instructions. 
Failure to do so can result in serious injury to the operator and/or bystanders.
• 
Be familiar with all controls and their proper operation. Know how to stop 
the machine and disengage them quickly.
• 
Never allow children under 14 years of age to operate this machine. Children 
14 and over should read and understand the instructions and safe operation 
practices in this manual and on the machine and be trained and supervised 
by an adult.
• 
Never allow adults to operate this machine without proper instruction.
• 
Keep bystanders, pets, and children at least 75 feet from the machine while 
it is in operation. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.
• 
Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated area. Engine exhaust 
contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.
PREPARATION
• 
Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used. Remove 
all rocks, bottles, cans, or other foreign objects which could be picked up or 
thrown and cause personal injury or damage to the machine. 
• 
Always wear safety glasses or safety goggles during operation and while 
performing an adjustment or repair, to protect your eyes. Thrown objects 
which ricochet can cause serious injury to the eyes.
• 
Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and close-fitting slacks and shirts. 
Loose fitting clothes or jewelry can be caught in movable parts. Never 
operate this machine in bare feet or sandals.
• 
Before starting, check all bolts and screws for proper tightness to be sure the 
machine is in safe working condition. Also, visually inspect machine for any 
damage at frequent intervals.
• 
Disengage clutch levers and shift (if provided) into neutral (“N”) before 
starting the engine.
• 
Never leave this machine unattended with the engine running.
• 
Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine is running, except 
where specifically recommended in the operator’s manual.
• 
Maintain or replace safety and instructions labels, as necessary.
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. Serious personal 
injury can occur when gasoline is spilled on yourself or your clothes which can 
ignite.  Wash your skin and change clothes immediately.
• 
Use only an approved gasoline container.
• 
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.
• 
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.
• 
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.
• 
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition.
• 
Never fuel machine indoors.
• 
Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine is hot or running. Allow 
engine to cool at least two minutes before refueling.
• 
Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than ½ inch below bottom of 
filler neck to allow space for fuel expansion.
• 
Replace gasoline cap and tighten securely.
• 
If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine and equipment. Move unit to 
another area. Wait 5 minutes before starting the engine.
