injury.

parts away the muffler and other hot surfaces.
Important: Do not overfill the crankcase with oil
because damage to the engine may result. Do not
run engine with oil below the low mark because the
engine may be damaged.

blade control switch, stop the engine, engage parking
brake, and remove the key.
