Check your machine before starting it. Keep guards in place and in working
order. Make sure all nuts, bolts, etc. are securely tightened.
Never operate the machine when it is in need of repair or is in poor mechanical
condition. Replace damaged, missing or failed parts before using it. Check for fuel leaks.
Keep the machine in safe working condition.
Do not use the machine if the engine’s switch does not turn it on or off. Any gasoline
powered machine that can not be controlled with the engine switch is dangerous and must be
replaced.
Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed
from machine area before starting it. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the
machine may result in personal injury.

Fuel is highly flammable, and its vapors can explode if ignited. Take precautions when
using to reduce the chance of serious personal injury.
When refilling or draining the fuel tank, use an approved fuel storage container
while in a clean, well-ventilated outdoor area. Do not smoke, or allow sparks, open flames or other
sources of ignition near the area while adding fuel or operating the unit. Never fill fuel tank indoors.
Keep grounded conductive objects, such as tools, away from exposed, live electrical parts
and connections to avoid sparking or arcing. These events could ignite fumes or vapors.
Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before filling the fuel tank.
Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel while the engine is running or when the
engine is hot. Do not operate the machine with known leaks in the fuel system.
Loose the fuel tank cap slowly to relieve any pressure in the tank.
Never overfill fuel tank (there should be no fuel above the upper limit mark).
Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely and wipe up spilled fuel.
Never operate the unit without the fuel cap securely in place.
Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely and wipe up spilled fuel.
Never operate the unit without the fuel cap securely in place.
Avoid creating a source of ignition for spilled fuel. If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the
engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid
creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated.
Store fuel in containers specifically designed and approved for this purpose.
Store fuel in a cool, well-ventilated area, safely away from sparks, open flames or other
sources of ignition.
Never store fuel or machine with fuel in the tank inside a building where fumes may
