After Operation Safety

General Safety
•
Shut off the engine, remove the key (if equipped),
and wait for all movement to stop before you leave
the operator's position. Allow the machine to cool
before adjusting, servicing, cleaning, or storing it.
•
Clean grass and debris from the machine to help
prevent fires. Clean up oil or fuel spills.
•
Never store the machine or fuel container where
there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light, such
as on a water heater or on other appliances.
Hauling Safety
•
Secure the machine.
•
Use care when loading and unloading the
machine.
Cleaning the Machine
Service Interval: After each use
WARNING
The machine may dislodge material from
under the machine housing.
• Wear eye protection.
• Stay in the operating position (behind the
handle).
• Do not allow bystanders in the area.
1. Tip the machine on its side, with the dipstick
down.
Important:
Always tip the machine onto its
side with the dipstick aligned down. If the
machine is tipped in another direction, oil
may fill the valve train—requiring at least 30
minutes to drain.
2. Use a brush or compressed air to remove grass
and debris from the exhaust guard, the top cowl,
and the surrounding deck areas.
3. Clean the cooling system; remove grass
clippings, debris, or dirt from the engine air
cooling fins and starter.
Note:
Clean the cooling system more frequently
in dirty or high-chaff conditions.
