Before Operating
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive. A fire or explosion from gasoline can
burn you and others.
To prevent a static charge from igniting the gasoline, place the container and/or
mower directly on the ground before filling, not in a vehicle or on an object.
Fill the tank outdoors when the engine is cold. Wipe up spills.
Do not handle gasoline when smoking or around an open flame or sparks.
Store gasoline in an approved fuel container, out of the reach of children.
Adjusting the cutting height may bring you into contact with the moving blade, causing
serious injury.
Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
Do not put your fingers under the housing when adjusting the cutting height.
