BRIGGS & STRATTON 4-CYCLE ENGINE

•  Do not operate the machine while under 

the infl uence of alcohol or drugs.

•  Never operate machine in wet grass. 

Always be sure of your footing: keep a 
fi rm hold on the handle; walk, never run.

•  Disengage the drive system, if so equipped, 

before starting the engine (motor).

•  If the equipment should start to vi brate 

abnormally, stop the engine (motor) and 
check immediately for the cause. Vibra-
tion is generally a warning of trouble.

•  Always wear eye protection when op er-

 at ing machine.

•  Use extra care when approaching blind 

corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects 
that may obscure vision.

•  When loading or unloading this machine, 

do not exceed the maximum recom-
mended operation angle of 15°.

•  Wear proper Personal Protective Equip-

ment (PPE) while operating this ma-
chine, including (at a minimum) sturdy 
footwear, eye protection, and hearing 
protection.  Do not mow in shorts or 
open toed footwear.

Always let someone know you are outside 
mowing.

III. SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to slip & 
fall accidents, which can result in severe 
injury. All slopes require extra caution. If 
you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.

DO:

•  Mow across the face of slopes: nev er 

up and down. Exercise extreme caution 
when changing direction on slopes.

•  Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree 

limbs, etc.

•  Watch for holes, ruts, bumps or hidden 

objects.  Uneven terrain could cause a 
slip and fall accident. Tall grass can hide 
obstacles.

DO NOT:

•  Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or 

embankments. You could lose your foot-
ing or balance.

•  Do not mow on wet grass or excessively 

steep slopes. Poor footing could cause a 
slip and fall accident.

IV. SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE

To avoid personal injury or property dam-
age, use extreme care in handling gaso-
line.  Gasoline is extremely fl ammable and 
the vapors are explosive.
•  Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes 

and other sources of ignition.

•  Use only an approved container.
•  Never remove gas cap or add fuel with 

the engine running.

•  Allow engine to cool before refueling.
•  Never refuel the machine indoors.
•  Never store the machine or fuel contain-

er where there is an open fl ame, spark 
or pilot light such as a water heater or on 
other appliances.

•  Never fi ll containers inside a vehicle, on 

a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner.  
Always place containers on the ground 
away from your vehicle before fi lling.

•  Remove gas-powered equipment from 

the truck or trailer and refuel it on the 
ground.  If this is not possible, then 
refuel such equipment with a portable 
container, rather than from a gasoline 
dispenser nozzle.

•  Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim 

of the fuel tank or container opening at 
all times until fueling is complete.  Do 
not use a nozzle lock-open device.

•  If fuel is spilled on clothing, change 

clothing immediately.

•  Never overfi ll fuel tank.  Replace gas 

cap and tighten securely.

V. GENERAL SERVICE

•  Never run a machine inside a closed area.
•  Never make adjustments or repairs with 

the engine (motor) running. Dis con nect the 
spark plug wire, and keep the wire away 
from the plug to prevent ac ci den tal starting.

 •  Keep all nuts and bolts tight to be sure the 

equipment is in safe working condition.

•  Never tamper with safety devices. 

Check their proper operation reg u lar ly.  
Never do anything to interfere with the 
intended function of a safety device 
or reduce the protection provided by a 
safety device.

 

• Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or 

other debris build-up. Clean oil or fuel spill-
age. Allow machine to cool before storing.

•  Stop and inspect the equipment if you 

strike an object. Repair, if nec es sary, 
before restarting.

•  Never attempt to make wheel height 

adjustments while the engine is running.

•  Grass catcher components are sub ject 

to wear, dam age, and de te ri o ra tion, 
which could expose moving parts or 
allow objects to be thrown. Frequently 
check com po nents and replace with 
man u fac tur er’s recommended parts, 
when necessary.

•  Mower blades are sharp and can cut. 

Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves, and 
use extra caution when ser vic ing them.

•  Do not change the engine governor set-

ting or overspeed the engine.

•  Maintain or replace safety and instruc-

tion labels, as necessary.
