product overturns on ground that is not flat. Long
grass can hide obstacles.
• Do not cut grass near edges, ditches or banks.
The product can suddenly overturn if a wheel
moves across the edge of a steep slope or a
ditch, or if an edge gives way.
• Do not mow wet grass. It is slippery, and tires
can lose their grip so that the product skids.
• Do not put your foot on the ground to try to make
the product more stable.
• Move very carefully if an accessory or other
object is attached that can make the product less
stable.

Fuel safety

WARNING:
instructions that follow before you use
the product.
• Fuel is flammable and the fumes are explosive.
Be careful with fuel to prevent injury, fire and
explosion.
• Do not breathe in the fuel fumes. The fuel fumes
are poisonous and can cause injury. Make sure
that the airflow is sufficient.
• Do not remove the fuel tank cap or fill the fuel
tank when the engine is on.
• Let the engine become cool before you refuel.
• Do not fill fuel in an indoor area. Not sufficient
airflow can cause injury or death because of
asphyxiation or carbon monoxide.
• Do not smoke near the fuel or the engine.
• Do not put hot objects near the fuel or the
engine.
• Do not fill fuel near sparks or flames.
• Before you refuel, open the fuel tank cap slowly
and release the pressure carefully.
• Fuel on your skin can cause injury. If you get fuel
on your skin, use soap and water to remove the
fuel.
• If you spill fuel on your clothing, change clothing
immediately.
• Do not fill the fuel tank fully. Heat causes the fuel
to expand. Keep a space at the top of the fuel
tank.
• Tighten the fuel tank cap fully. If the fuel tank cap
is not tightened, there is a risk of fire.
• Before you start the product, move the product to
a minimum of 3 m/10 ft from where you refueled.
• Do not start the product if there is fuel or engine
oil on the product. Remove the unwanted fuel
and engine oil and let the product dry before you
start the engine.
• Examine the engine for leaks regularly. If there
are leaks in the fuel system, do not start the
engine until the leaks are repaired.
• Do not use your fingers to examine the engine
for leaks.
• Keep fuel in approved containers only.
