• Never store the machine or fuel container where there

the ground away from your vehicle before filling.

ately.

build-up. Clean oil or fuel spillage. Allow machine to
cool before storing.
• Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an object.
Repair, if necessary, before restarting.
• Never attempt to make wheel height adjustments while
the engine (motor) is running.
• Grass catcher components are subject to wear, dam-

parts or allow objects to be thrown. Frequently check
com po nents and replace with manufacturer’s rec om -
mend ed parts, when necessary.

wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing it.
