equipment is in safe working condition.
Never store the equipment with petrol in the tank inside
a building where fumes may reach an open flame or
spark.
Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclo-
sure.
To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, silencer,
battery compartment and petrol storage area free of
grass, leaves, or excessive grease.
Checkthe grass catcher frequently for wear or deteriora-
tion.
Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
• If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done
outdoors.
On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating one
blade can cause other blades to rotate.
When machine is to be parked, stored or left unattended,
lower the cutting means unless a positive mechanical
lock is used.
_LWARNING" Always disconnect spark plug wire
and place wire where it cannot contact spark plug
in order to prevent accidental starting when setting
up, transporting, adjusting or making repairs.
