engine running. Allow the engine to cool before
fueling.

trailer.

E.   Never store the machine or fuel container where

there is an open flame, spark or pilot light such as
on a water heater or other appliances.

or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place
containers on the ground away from your vehicle
before filling.

G.  Remove the machine from the truck or trailer and

fuel on the ground. If this is not possible, then
refuel the machine with a portable container,
rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

tank or container opening at all times until fueling
is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

I.    If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing
      immediately

minimum octane rating of 87. To avoid personal
injury or property damage, use extreme care in
handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable
and the vapors are explosive.

particularly for continuous operation of the mower.
Wear suitable hearing protection. Prolonged
exposure to loud noise can cause hearing impairment
or hearing loss.

clothing, long hair or jewelry could get tangled in
moving parts. Do not operate the machine wearing
shorts; always wear adequate protective clothing
including long pants. Wearing safety glasses, safety
shoes and a helmet is advisable and is required by
some local ordinances and insurance regulations.

condition. Keep all shields and safety devices in
place. If a shield, safety device or decal is defective
or damaged, repair or replace it before operating the
machine.

sources of ignition.

transmission into neutral, move the blade engagement
switch to the OFF position, and move the neutral
latches to neutral.

9. The discharge chute must always be installed and in

the down position on the side discharge cutter deck
except when the Scag optional grass catcher or
mulching plate are properly installed.
