SECTION 1

INTRODUCTION

Section 1

Poorly maintained equipment can become a safety hazard! In order for the equipment to operate safely and properly over 

a long period of time, periodic maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary .

•  ALWAYS

 disconnect the battery before servicing the equipment .

•  DO NOT

 attempt to clean or service the machine while it is running . Rotating parts can cause severe 

injury .

•  DO NOT

 crank a flooded engine with the spark plug removed on gasoline-powered engines . Fuel trapped in 

the cylinder will squirt out the spark plug opening .

•  DO NOT

 test for spark on gasoline-powered engines if the engine is flooded or the smell of gasoline is 

present . A stray spark could ignite the fumes .

•  DO NOT

 use gasoline or other types of fuels or flammable solvents to clean parts, especially in enclosed 

areas. Fumes from fuels and solvents can become explosive.

•  ALWAYS

 turn engine off and remove key from machine before performing maintenance or making repairs .

•  ALWAYS

 handle blades carefully . The blades can develop sharp edges which can cause serious cuts .

•  ALWAYS

 keep the area around the muffler free of debris such as leaves, paper, cartons, etc . A hot muffler 

could ignite the debris and start a fire .

•  ALWAYS

 replace worn or damaged components with spare parts designed and recommended by AEC Corporation .

•  ALWAYS

 disconnect the spark plug on machines equipped with gasoline engines, before servicing, to avoid acciden-

tal start-up .

•  ALWAYS 

relieve all pressure in the air, oil and cooling systems before disconnecting any lines, fittings or 

related items . Escaping fluid under pressure has sufficient force to penetrate skin causing serious personal 
injury, DO NOT check for leaks your hands .

•  ALWAYS

 switch off the power supply at the battery disconnect before adjusting or maintaining the electrical equip-

ment .

•  ALWAYS 

keep the machine clean and labels legible . Replace all missing and hard-to read labels . Labels provide im-

portant operating instructions and warn of dangers and hazards .

•  ALWAYS 

wear rubber gloves to avoid personal injury, when you treat fluids used in machine .  In case of 

contact with skin, immediately wash off .
