Fuel and Maintenance
Always disengage all drives, shutoff the engine and remove
the key before doing any cleaning, refueling or servicing.
Gasoline and its vapors are extremely flammable. Do not
smoke while operating or refueling. Do not add fuel while
engine is hot or running. Allow engine to cool for at least 3
minutes prior to adding fuel.
Do not add fuel indoors, in an enclosed trailer, garage or
other enclosed area that is not well ventilated. Gasoline spills
should be cleaned up promptly and before operation begins.
Gasoline should be stored only in sealed containers approved
for fuel.
Proper maintenance is critical to the safety and performance
of your unit. Keep the unit free of grass, leaves and excess
oil. Be sure to perform the maintenance procedures listed in
this manual, especially periodically testing the safety system.
Enclosed Areas
Only operate this unit outdoors and away from unventilated
areas such as inside garages or enclosed trailers. The
engine emits poisonous carbon monoxide gas and prolonged
exposure in an enclosed area can result in serious injury or
death.
