INTRODUCTION
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Read the Operator’s Manual(s) and follow all
warnings and safety instructions. Failure to do
so can result in serious injury to the operator
and/or bystanders.
WARNING!
• Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before filling
the fuel tank. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank, or
add fuel, when the engine is hot. Never operate the unit
without the fuel cap securely in place. Loosen the fuel
tank cap slowly to relieve any pressure in the tank.
• Mix and add fuel in a clean, well-ventilated area
outdoors where there are no sparks or flames. Slowly
remove the fuel cap only after stopping engine. Do not
smoke while fueling or mixing fuel. Wipe up any spilled
fuel from the unit immediately.
• Avoid creating a source of ignition for spilled fuel. Do
not start the engine until fuel vapors dissipate.
• Move the unit at least 30 feet (9.1 m) from the fueling
source and site before starting the engine. Do not
smoke. Keep sparks and open flames away from the
area while adding fuel or operating the unit.
• Never start or run the unit inside a closed room or
building. Breathing exhaust fumes can kill. Operate this
unit only in a well ventilated area outdoors.
SPECIAL SAFETY WARNINGS FOR ELECTRIC
POWERHEADS AND LAWN EDGERS
• CORD SETS: Make sure your cord set is in good
condition. When using a cord set, be sure to use a
cord that is heavy enough to carry the current that your
unit will draw. An undersized cord set will cause a drop
in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. See the operator’s manual for the unit that
will power this add-on for the recommended cord size.
• Inspect all extension cords and the unit power connection
periodically. Look closely for deterioration, cuts or cracks
in the insulation. Also inspect the connections for damage.
Replace the cords if any defects or damage appear.
