 Replace worn or faulty silencers.
 Make sure the area to be mowed is cleared of sticks, stones, bones, wire and debris. They
could be thrown by the blades.
 Store fuel in a cool place in a container specifically designed for that purpose. Handle fuel
carefully. It is highly flammable.
 Refuel outdoors only. Do not smoke when refuelling engine. Add fuel before starting
engine. Never remove the cap from the fuel tank or add petrol while engine is running.
Allow engine to cool for several minutes before refuelling if engine is hot. If petrol is
spilled, do not attempt to start the engine, but move the mower away from the area of the
spill and avoid creating any source of ignition until the petrol vapours have dissipated.
 Remove the fuel cap slowly to relieve fuel tank pressure.
 Check for fuel leaks while refuelling or using the mower. If a fuel leak is found, do not start
or run the engine until the leak is fixed and spilled fuel is wiped away.
 Take care not to get fuel on your clothing. If this occurs, change your clothing immediately.
 Do not operate mower in confined space where exhaust fumes (carbon monoxide) can
collect.
 Mow only in good daylight.
 Start the engine carefully with feet well away from the blades.
 Disengage all blades and drive clutches before starting.
 When starting, do not wrap the starter rope around your hand. Do not allow the starter
cord to snap back. Return the starter grip slowly to allow the cord to rewind properly.
 Strictly follow the operator instructions before attempting to start the engine.
 Never leave recoil starters in a wound position.
 Never mow where machine could tip or slip.
 On slopes or wet grass be extra careful of your footing.
 Never cut grass by pulling mower towards you.
 Be extremely careful when using a mower on slopes. Stay alert for holes in the terrain
and other hidden hazards.
 Stop the engine before pushing the mower across gravel drives, walks or roads.
 Never use the mower unless all guards or grassbox provided by manufacturer are in
position.
 Never over-speed the engine or alter the governor settings. Excessive speed is dangerous
and shortens mower life.
 Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire and inspect mower if:
 (a) The mower begins to vibrate abnormally; or
 (b) After striking a foreign object.
 Repair any damage before continuing further operation of the mower.
 Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire before clearing blockages, checking or
working on the mower.
 Never pick up or carry a mower when it is operating.
 Where fitted, turn fuel tap off at the conclusion of mowing.
 When transporting in a vehicle, secure the mower to prevent movement, roll-over, fuel
spillage, and mower damage.
 Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in a safe working
condition.
 Never modify the mower in any way. Use only replacement parts made and guaranteed by
the original manufacturer of your mower.
 Keep all safety devices (guards and switches) in place and working.
 Keep the engine free of grass, leaves or excessive grease. These can be a fire hazard.
 Store the mower in a well ventilated room away from naked flames such as may be found
in hot water heaters.
 Walk, never run.
