Using four people to lift unit is recommended. Lift holding the handles and front deck guard. Make sure

reach an open flame or spark from a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or similar
devices.
DO NOT
drain fuel in an enclosed or poorly ventilated area.
DO NOT
smoke when draining fuel.
DO NOT

equipment on a steep grade or slope.
ALWAYS
remove spark plug wire when servicing equipment to prevent accidental

ALWAYS
keep hands and feet away from moving or rotating parts.
ALWAYS
store fuel in approved safety containers.
If the equipment will not be used for 30 days or more, prepare as follows:
1. Make sure engine is cool.
2. Drain gasoline from carburetor and fuel tank to prevent gum deposits from forming.
3. Run engine until tank is empty and engine runs out of gas.
Fuel stabilizer (such as Sta-Bil) is an acceptable alternative for minimizing the formation of gum
deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in storage container or fuel tank. Follow
stabilizer manufacturer’s instructions to determine proper mix ratio. Run engine at least 10
minutes after adding stabilizer to allow it to reach carburetor.
