To ensure safe operation
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard
Operation on Slope
Never store the equipment with gasoline in the tank inside a
building where fumes may reach an open flame, spark or high
temperature source.
Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
To prevent a fire hazard, keep the weed mower clean and free of
grass, leaves or excessive grease. Pay special attention to the
engine, muffler, upper cutter deck surfaces and the belt and pulley
areas. Also pay attention to gasoline storage areas. Do not leave
containers of vegetable matter in or near a building.
If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors, with
a cold engine.
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a colorless and
odorless gas. Breathing exhaust can cause loss of consciousness and
may lead to death.
If you run the engine in an area that is confined
or even partially
enclosed, the air you breathe could contain a dangerous amount of
exhaust gas. To keep exhaust gas from building up, provide
adequate ventilation.
Replace faulty muffler.
Do not operate the engine inaconfined space where dangerous
carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
When mowing on slopes, keep the fuel tank less than half full to
minimize fuel spillage.
Mow across the slope (At equally spaced intervals) rather than up
and down it.
Be very careful when changing the direction of the weed mower on
a slope.
Do not mow slopes of more than 20° (36%).
Before starting the engine, check that the weed mower is not
damaged and in good condition. For your safety and the safety of
others, exercise extreme care when using the weed mower up or
down hill.
