SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES 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 path of the machine. f. To avoid back-over accidents, always disengage the cutting blade(s) before shifting into reverse. If equipped, the Reverse Caution Mode should not be used when children or others are around. 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 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 should be trained and supervised by an adult. 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 five minutes before refueling. h. Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than 1/2 inch (13 mm) 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 machine to another area. Wait five minutes before starting the engine. TOWING 1. Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the hitch point. 2. Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for weight limits for towed equipment and towing on slopes. 3. Never allow children or others in or on towed equipment. 4. On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may cause loss of traction and loss of control. 5. Always use extra caution when towing with a machine capable of making tight turns. Make wide turns to avoid jack-knifing. 6. Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop. 7. Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill. 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 machine to cool at least five minutes before storing. General Service 1. Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated area. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas. 2. Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the blade(s) and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and negative battery cable to prevent unintended starting. SERVICE 3. Periodically check to make sure the blades come to a complete stop within approximately five seconds after Safe Handling of Gasoline: operating the blade disengagement control. If the blades 1.

SERVICE
Safe Handling of Gasoline:
1.
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.
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.
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 path of
the machine.
f.
To avoid back-over accidents, always disengage the
cutting blade(s) before shifting into reverse. If equipped,
the Reverse Caution Mode should not be used when
children or others are around.
