SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Maintenance
• Stop the engine. Prevent the engine from
starting by removing the spark plug
cables from the spark plugs or by
removing the ignition key before making
any adjustments or performing
maintenance.
• Never fill the fuel tank indoors.
• Fuel and fuel fumes are poisonous and
extremely flammable. Be especially
cautious when handling fuel, as
carelessness can result in personal
injury or fire.
• Only store fuel in containers approved for
the purpose.
• Never remove the fuel tank cap and
never fill the fuel tank while the engine is
running.
• Allow the engine to cool before refueling.
Do not smoke. Do not fill fuel in the
vicinity of sparks or open flames.
• If leaks arise in the fuel system, the
engine must not be started until the
problem has been resolved.
• Store the machine and fuel in such a way
that there is no risk of leaking fuel or fuel
vapor leading to damages.
• Check the fuel level before each use and
leave space for the fuel to expand,
because the heat from the engine and
the sun may otherwise cause the fuel to
expand and overflow.
• Avoid overfilling. If you spill fuel on the
machine, wipe up the spill and wait until it
has evaporated before starting the
engine. If you have spilled fuel on your
clothing, change your clothing.
• Allow the machine to cool before taking
any actions in the engine compartment.
• Ensure that nuts and bolts, especially the
fastening bolts for the blade attachments,
are properly tightened and that the
equipment is in good condition.
WARNING!
The engine must not be started when the protective plate for the mower deck’s drive
belt is removed.
