Store gasoline and oil safely away from sources of flame, and out of the reach of
children. Accidents and injury can result.
Please refuel in a place that is well ventilated. As gasoline is a highly volatile
substance, you may become ill if you operate the machine in a poorly ventilated place.
Do not open the fuel cap while running the engine.
When refueling, be sure to stop the engine and allow it to cool down. There is a danger
of suffering burns.
When refueling, be sure not to fill the fuel tank over the maximum level. If you do overfill
the fuel tank, remove fuel until it sits below the maximum level. Over-fueling can cause
fire and other accidents.
After refueling, securely close the fuel cap and store the machine in a safe place with
no sources of ignition. There is a danger of fire.
If you spill gasoline, move the machine a safe distance away without starting the
engine. Starting the machine in close proximity to a fuel spill can result in a fire or other
accidents. Use a waste cloth to wipe away the excess gasoline and dispose of the cloth
according to local laws and regulations.
Be sure to change your clothes immediately if they come into contact with gasoline.
There is a danger that any gasoline on your clothes could ignite or cause you to feel ill.
Do not refuel in places such as inside a car or on a truck, as they could move
unexpectedly. Refuel after placing your fuel container safely on the ground, away from
vehicles. Fuel spills can cause fire and other accidents.
Do not remove the refueling nozzle from the fuel tank until you have finished refueling.
Fuel spills can cause fire and other accidents.
Do not use a type of gasoline other than that specified. There is a danger of fire and
explosions.
Do not allow highly flammable substances to be near the engine or the path of the
exhaust as this can cause a fire.
Do not touch the engine or muffler, as they become extremely hot during operation and
can cause severe burns. Be especially careful when getting on and off the machine.
Do not allow weeds and leaves to accumulate in the engine or the HST unit. Be
especially careful of accumulation in the recoil cover, HST fan cover, air filter, and near
the muffler. Overheating and fire can result.
Before starting the engine, always sit the seat, and make sure the cutting height
adjustment lever is all the way up, the brake pedal is engaged (or locked), and the
blade clutch is in the [OFF] position.
After starting the engine with the blade clutch in the [OFF] position, check the V-belt to
be absolutely certain that it is not moving. If the V-belt is moving even a little,
immediately switch off the engine and adjust the belt guard and the cables. Taking
these precautions can avoid injury and accidents.
Do not modify the engine as this can cause accidents or explosions. Altering this
machine in any way will void the warranty. Orec America, Inc. will bear no responsibility
for damage or injury caused by alterations or modifications.
Do not try to alter the position of the engine governor or change the set rotation speeds.

precautions can avoid injury and accidents.
Before starting the machine, remove any rocks or branches that could be thrown from
the machine and cause injury to bystanders or damage to the machine. In fields with
rocks and loose branches, please operate the machine with the blade set higher for
safety. Locking knives or scattering rocks may cause serious injury.
When working in a dangerous area, erect markers to prevent you from mistakenly
getting too near to obstacles, ditches, soft path edges, slopes steeper than 10°, or
uneven ground.
Display a “MOWING” sign and erect a guard rope to prevent people (especially
children) from coming within 100 FEET of the machine. The grass clippings will be
discharged from the right rear of this unit. However, objects like debris, stones, wood
etc. may come out from all directions of the mowing deck.
Use this machine during daylight or with sufficient artificial light only. Do not operate
this machine at night when poor visibility will not allow you to be fully aware of your
surroundings. Not being able to notice dangerous objects and bystanders is a cause
of serious injury and accidents.
Do not use this machine on wet grass. It is easy to slip on wet grass, causing injury
and accidents.
When you identify areas on the machine that are in need of maintenance, please turn
off the machine and ensure that the repairs are completed before starting the machine
again.
Always check that the tire mounting bolts are securely tightened. If these are loose,
please tighten.
It is very dangerous if the blade comes off. Please tighten the nuts and bolts of the
blade set. If the blade is getting old, replace it with a new one.
It is very dangerous to operate the machine while the blade replacement cover is
open. Make sure it is always closed. The blade replacement cover should only be
opened when replacing the blade. It should remain closed at all other times.
Using the roll-over protection
To avoid injury or death from roll-over, keep the roll bar in the raised locked position
and use the seatbelt.
Lower the roll bar only when absolutely necessary.
There is no roll-over protection when the roll bar is in the down position.
-Do not wear the seat belt when the roll bar is in the down position.
-Drive slowly and carefully
-Raise the roll bar as soon as clearance permits.
Spark arrester (optional)

Caution during operation
For safety reasons, do not make sudden starts/stops or sharp turns.
During operation, blades, chains and belts are hidden by a cover, be sure to keep
hands and feet well away. Touching these parts can cause serious injury such as the
severing of limbs.
Do not operate the machine with the side cover raised. There is a danger of injury and
damage from rocks and other debris being thrown from the blades.
This machine is designed to minimize flying debris but there is the possibility of flying
debris coming out of the cutting structure. For this reason, do not work under the
assumption that debris cannot fly out and hit people and property.
During operation, the rotating blades come right to the edge of the blade cover. Under
no circumstances should you put your hands inside the cover to try to clear weeds,
etc. Taking necessary precautions in regard to the blade can avoid injury.
Before removing entangled weeds or other foreign objects, be sure to stop the engine,
let it cool and then remove the spark plug cord. Check that the blades have stopped
moving before carefully removing any entangled material.
Remove accumulations of weeds or leaves from the cooling fan, the exhaust pipe and
the muffler to help prevent engine trouble and possible fire.
Be sure that there are no people, animals or vehicles close by. When operating this
machine, always maintain a distance of over 100 FEET between you and bystanders.
If people or animals come near, release the blade clutch and switch off the engine.
Taking precautions can avoid injury and accidents.
Take care to move and turn the machine gently. Stop the blades when not cutting
weeds or brush. Taking such precautions can avoid injury and accidents.
If you notice any unusual noises, odors, heat or vibrations during the operation of this
machine, switch off the engine immediately, remove the spark plug cord and ensure
that all movable parts have completely stopped. Have the machine inspected for
damage and obstructions, and have any damaged parts repaired before using.
Watch for holes in the ground and protruding tree roots. Also watch for obstructions
that could be hidden in long weeds or brush. Operating the machine on rough ground
may cause you to lose your grip on the handle, causing injury and accidents.
Be careful when approaching blind corners, bushes, and trees which block your line of
sight. Such obstructions can keep children and animals hidden from the view.
Do not operate this machine near rivers and drop-offs, people and buildings.
Accidents can be caused by falls and collisions
When moving the machine backwards, check that there are no people or obstacles
behind you. When reversing, there is a danger of being trapped between the machine
and a wall or falling from drop-offs.
Do not leave the machine unattended with the engine running. When you leave the
machine, always stop the engine and lock the parking brake pedal and unplug the
ignition.
A
fter operating, keep the fuel valve closed.
