Store gasoline and oil safely away from sources of flame, and out of the reach of
children. Accidents and injury can result.
Please refuel in a place that is well ventilated. As gasoline is a highly volatile
substance, you may become ill if you operate the machine in a poorly ventilated place.
Do not open the fuel cap while running the engine.
When refueling, be sure to stop the engine and allow it to cool down. There is a danger
of suffering burns.
When refueling, be sure not to fill the fuel tank over the maximum level. If you do overfill
the fuel tank, remove fuel until it sits below the maximum level. Over-fueling can cause
fire and other accidents.
After refueling, securely close the fuel cap and store the machine in a safe place with
no sources of ignition. There is a danger of fire.
If you spill gasoline, move the machine a safe distance away without starting the
engine. Starting the machine in close proximity to a fuel spill can result in a fire or other
accidents. Use a waste cloth to wipe away the excess gasoline and dispose of the cloth
according to local laws and regulations.
Be sure to change your clothes immediately if they come into contact with gasoline.
There is a danger that any gasoline on your clothes could ignite or cause you to feel ill.
Do not refuel in places such as inside a car or on a truck, as they could move
unexpectedly. Refuel after placing your fuel container safely on the ground, away from
vehicles. Fuel spills can cause fire and other accidents.
Do not remove the refueling nozzle from the fuel tank until you have finished refueling.
Fuel spills can cause fire and other accidents.
Do not use a type of gasoline other than that specified. There is a danger of fire and
explosions.
Do not allow highly flammable substances to be near the engine or the path of the
exhaust as this can cause a fire.
Do not touch the engine or muffler, as they become extremely hot during operation and
can cause severe burns. Be especially careful when getting on and off the machine.
Do not allow weeds and leaves to accumulate in the engine or the HST unit. Be
especially careful of accumulation in the recoil cover, HST fan cover, air filter, and near
the muffler. Overheating and fire can result.
Before starting the engine, always sit the seat, and make sure the cutting height
adjustment lever is all the way up, the brake pedal is engaged (or locked), and the
blade clutch is in the [OFF] position.
After starting the engine with the blade clutch in the [OFF] position, check the V-belt to
be absolutely certain that it is not moving. If the V-belt is moving even a little,
immediately switch off the engine and adjust the belt guard and the cables. Taking
these precautions can avoid injury and accidents.
Do not modify the engine as this can cause accidents or explosions. Altering this
machine in any way will void the warranty. Orec America, Inc. will bear no responsibility
for damage or injury caused by alterations or modifications.
Do not try to alter the position of the engine governor or change the set rotation speeds.
