A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you, others, and cause property damage. In certain conditions during fueling, static electricity can be released causing a spark which can ignite gasoline vapors. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and cause property damage. • Fill the fuel tank outdoors on level ground, in an open area, when the engine is cold. Wipe up any gasoline that spills. • Always place gasoline containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling. • Never refill the fuel tank or drain the machine indoors or inside an enclosed trailer. • Do Not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed because interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners may insulate the container and slow the loss of any static charge. • Do Not fill the fuel tank completely full. Fill the fuel tank to the bottom of the filler neck. The empty space in the tank allows gasoline to expand. Overfilling may result in fuel leakage or damage to the engine or emission system. • When practical, remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel the equipment with its wheels on the ground. • Never smoke when handling gasoline, and stay away from an open flame or where gasoline fumes may be ignited by spark. • If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a truck or trailer from a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle. • Store gasoline in an approved container and keep it out of the reach of children. • If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used, keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do Not use a nozzle lock open device. • Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel when engine is running or when the engine is hot. • If fuel is spilled, Do Not attempt to start the engine. Move away from the area of the spill and avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated. WARNING Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term exposure to vapors has caused cancer in laboratory animals. Failure to use caution may cause serious injury or illness. • Do Not operate without entire exhaust system in place and in proper working condition. • Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors. • Keep face away from nozzle and gas tank/container opening. • Keep away from eyes and skin. • Never siphon by mouth. • Check that the operator presence controls, safety switches, and shields are attached and functioning properly. Do Not operate unless they are functioning properly. 6 Safety Operation • Stop engine, wait for all moving parts to stop: – Before refueling. WARNING WARNING Operating engine parts, especially the muffler, become extremely hot. Severe burns can occur on contact and debris, such as leaves, grass, brush, etc. can catch fire. Hands, feet, hair, clothing, or accessories can become entangled in rotating parts. Contact with the rotating parts can cause traumatic amputation or severe lacerations. • Allow engine parts, especially the muffler, to cool before touching. • Do Not operate the machine without guards, shields, and safety devices in place and working properly. • Remove accumulated debris from muffler and engine area. • Keep hands, feet, hair, jewelry, or clothing away from rotating parts. WARNING Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which is an odorless deadly poison that can kill you. • DO NOT operate the machine when people, especially children, or pets are in the area. • Be alert, slow down and use caution when making turns. Look behind and to the side before changing directions. Do Not run engine indoors or in a small confined area where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect. • Raise the tines, slow down, and use caution when crossing surfaces other than grass and when transporting the machine to and from the work area. • Operate only in daylight or good artificial light, keeping away from holes and hidden hazards. • Lightning can cause severe injury or death.
