Maintenance and Storage
•
Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.

•
Never store the equipment with gasoline in the tank and
inside a building where fumes can reach an open flame
or spark.
•
Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
•
To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, silencer,
battery compartment and gasoline storage area free of
grass, leaves, or excessive grease.

Check grass catcher components and the discharge guard
frequently and replace with manufacturer's recommended
parts, when necessary.
