Tines
- Tines are sharp and can
cut. Use extra caution when
handling. Wear appropriate
personal protective equip-
ment.
- Only replace tines. Never
straighten or weld them.
- Keep other persons away
from tines.
Fuel
- Petrol (Gasoline) and
diesel fuels are ammable;
petrol (gasoline) vapors are explosive. Use extra
care when handling.
- Store only in containers specically designed for
fuel.
- When refueling or checking fuel level:
- Stop the engine and allow to cool;
- Do not smoke;
- Refuel outdoors only;
- Use a funnel;
- Do not overll;
- If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the
engine until the spill is cleaned up and vapors
have cleared.
- Replace caps on fuel containers and tanks
securely.
Sparks from static electricity can start res or cause
explosions. Flowing fuel can generate static electric-
ity. To prevent static electricity sparks:
- Keep fuel containers electrically grounded.
- Do not ll containers in a vehicle or on a truck or
trailer bed with a plastic liner. Fill containers on
the ground away from the vehicle.
- When practical, remove gas powered equip-
ment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the
ground. If equipment must be refueled on the
truck or trailer, refuel from a portable container
rather than a dispenser nozzle.
- Keep the dispenser nozzle in contact with the rim
of the fuel tank or container opening until fueling
is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open
device.
WARNING
Storage
- Stop the engine and allow to cool before storing
- Drain the fuel tank outdoors only.
- Store fuel in an approved container in a cool, dry
place
- Keep the machine and fuel containers in a locked
storage place to prevent tampering and to keep
children from playing with them.
- Do not store the machine or fuel container near
appliances with an open ame such as a water
heater or other appliance with a pilot light.
- Keep petrol (gasoline) storage area free of grass,
leaves and excessive grease to reduce re haz-
ard.
- Clean grass and debris from cutting units, drives,
mufers and engine to help prevent res.
