Children

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.

.
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not  alert to the
presence of children. Children are often  attracted to the
machine and the mowing activity. They  do not understand
the dangers. Never assume that children will  remain where
you last saw them.
d.      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.
a.      Keep children out of the mowing  area and in
watchful care of a responsible adult other  than the
operator.
e.      Extinguish all cigarettes,  cigars, pipes and other
sources of ignition.

area.

and down for small children.

is hot or running. Allow engine to cool at least  two
minutes before refueling.
d.      Never carry children, even with the blade(s) shut off.
They may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere
with safe machine operation.
h.      Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more  than ½
inch below bottom of filler  neck to allow space for
fuel expansion.
e.      Use extreme care when approaching  blind corners,
doorways, shrubs, trees  or other objects that may
block your vision of a child who may run into the
path of the machine.

j.

equipment. Move machine to another area.  Wait 5

They can suffer burns from  a hot muffler.

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.
Regularly check the safety  interlock system for proper
function, as described  later in this manual. If the safety
interlock system does not function  properly, have your
machine serviced professionally  by an authorized MTD
Service Dealer.
a.      Use only an approved gasoline  container.
b.      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.
