Section 2 — important Safe operation practiceS

13.  If your machine should start making an unusual noise or 

vibration, immediately stop the engine, disconnect the 

spark plug wire and move the wire away from the spark 

plug. Allow the machine to stop and perform the following 

steps:

a.  Inspect for damage.
b.  Repair or replace any damaged parts.
c.  Check for any loose parts and tighten to assure 

continued safe operation.

14.  Muffler and engine become hot and can cause a burn. Do 

not touch. 

15.  Do not allow leaves or other debris to build up on engine’s 

muffler. The debris could ignite and cause a fire.

16.  Do not operate engine if air cleaner or cover over 

carburetor air intake is removed, except for adjustment. 

Removal of such parts could create a fire hazard.

manufacturer. Read, understand, and follow all instructions 

provided with the approved accessory.

18.  Only operate machine in daylight or good artificial light. 

Do not operate machine in dark areas where your vision 

may be impaired.

19.  Never pick up or carry machine while the engine is running.
20.  If situations occur which are not covered in this manual, 

use care and good judgment. Contact Customer Support 

for assistance or the name of the nearest service dealer.

Children
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the 

presence of small children. Children are often attracted to the 

blowing activity. Never assume that children will remain where 

you last saw them. 
1. 

Keep children out of the work area and under the watchful 

eye of a responsible adult other than the operator.

2. 

Be alert and turn the machine off if a child enters the area.

3. 

Never allow children under the age of 14 to operate the 

leaf blower.

Service
Safe Handling Of Gasoline:
1. 

To avoid personal injury or property damage use extreme 

care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable 

and the vapors are explosive. Serious personal injury can 

occur when gasoline is spilled on yourself or your clothes 

which can ignite. Wash your skin and change clothes 

immediately.

2. 

Use only an approved gasoline container.

3. 

Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer 

bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the 

ground away from your vehicle before filling.

4. 

Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or 

trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, 

then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a portable 

container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

5. 

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.

6. 

Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources  

of ignition.

7. 

Never fuel machine indoors because flammable vapors will 

accumulate in the area.

8. 

Never remove gas cap or add fuel while engine is hot or 

running.  Allow engine to cool at least two minutes before 

refueling.

9. 

Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than ½ inch 

below bottom of filler neck to provide for fuel expansion.

10.  Replace gasoline cap and tighten securely.
11.  If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine and equipment. 

Move machine to another area. Wait five (5) minutes before 

starting  engine.

12.  Never store the machine or fuel container near an open 

flame, spark or pilot light as on a water heater, space 

heater,  furnace, clothes dryer or other gas appliances. 

13.  To reduce fire hazard, keep mower free of grass, leaves, 

or other debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage and 

remove any fuel-soaked debris. 

14.  Allow a mower to cool at least five (5) minutes before 

storing.

General Service:
1. 

Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper 

operation regularly.

2. 

Check all nuts, bolts and screws for proper tightness at 

frequent intervals to keep the machine in safe working 

condition. Also, visually inspect machine for any damage 

and repair, if needed.

3. 

Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, stop the engine 

and make certain the impeller and all moving parts have 

stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground it 

against the engine to prevent unintended starting.

4. 

Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed 

the engine. The governor controls the maximum safe 

operating speed of the engine.

5. 

Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as 

necessary.

6. 

Follow this manual for safe loading, unloading, 

transporting, and storage of this machine.

7. 

Never store the machine or fuel container near an open 

flame, spark or pilot light such as on a water heater, 

furnace, clothes dryer, or other gas appliances.

8. 

Always refer to the operator’s manual for proper 

instructions on off-season storage.

9. 

If the fuel tank has to be drained, do this outdoors.

10.  Observe proper disposal laws and regulations for gas, oil, 

etc. to protect the environment.
