Safety
CAUTION
This machine produces sound levels in excess
of 85 dBA at the operator’s ear and can cause
hearing loss through extended periods of
exposure.
Wear hearing protection when operating this
machine.
• Inspect the area where the equipment is to be
used and remove all rocks, toys, sticks, wires,
bones, and other foreign objects which can be
thrown by the machine and may cause personal
injury to the operator or bystanders.
DANGER
LPG fuel is extremely flammable and vapors
are explosive.
A fire or explosion from LPG fuel can burn
you, others, and cause property damage.
• Never smoke around tank(s) and stay
away from an open flame or where fumes
may be ignited by a spark.
• Extinguish all sources of spark or flame
when approaching LPG tanks or mowers.
The hazard increases for enclosed trailers
or storage locations where vapor leakage
may occur and collect.
• LPG is heavier than air and may
accumulate in low lying areas, such as
ditches, drains, or pits.
• LPG tank(s) should be filled by trained
and qualified personnel ONLY.
• Never tamper with or repair the tank(s);
contact trained and qualified personnel.
• Do Not change the tank(s) when the
engine is running.
• Before disconnecting the hose(s), purge
all LPG vapors from the system, by
closing the fuel valve(s) on ALL tanks and
allowing the engine to run until it stops.
• Store the tank(s) away from heat, sparks,
or open flames.
• Do Not operate without entire exhaust
system in place and in proper working
condition.
DANGER
LPG fuel is extremely flammable and vapors
are explosive.
• In case of fire take the following steps:
1. If you can safely do so, stop the flow of
gas as quickly as possible. Never put
out flame unless gas can be shut off.
2. Notify the Fire Department and clear
immediate area of all people.
3. When gas flow is stopped, put out the
