SAFETY
lmportant Safety Information
All LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas) powered engines, including this engine, produce Carbon Monoxide (CO). It is a
Lethal
Poison
that is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and non-irritating gas. You must read “Lethal Exhaust Gas” information
above. Failure to provide proper venting of CO, failure to properly maintain the engine, or failure to properly train
personnel of the dangers and warning signs of carbon monoxide exposure may result in
Serious Injury Or Death
to the
operator and others in the area.
Keep hands, feet, and loose clothing away from all moving parts while the machine is in operation. The exhaust system
gets very hot so keep hands, clothing and any items that can burn away from the engine, engine manifold, and muffler.
• Use only as described in this manual.
• Read the labels on the machine carefully. Do not cover the labels. Replace the labels if they become damaged.
• This propane floor machine must only be operated by authorized and trained professionals.
• The operator must wear the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (gloves, shoes, helmet, glasses, etc.)
• When operating the machine do not endanger other people.
• Workers should be trained to recognize the hazards of carbon monoxide and the early symptoms of carbon
monoxide poisoning.
• Any equipment with the potential to produce carbon monoxide presents a significant hazard when used indoors.
They must be used with great caution. Opening a door or window, or running an exhaust fan will not necessarily
supply adequate ventilation. Avoid inhaling exhaust fumes and never run the engine in a closed building or
confined area without proper ventilation.
• Have a carbon monoxide detector attached to machine handle or have machine operator wear a carbon monoxide
detector. (See carbon monoxide detector page).
• Do not allow engine to run unattended.
• Install fuel cylinder in a well ventilated place.
• Be aware of possible leaks of propane gas if odor is present.
• If the machine is stored inside a building, remove the fuel cylinder and store properly outside.
• Never store fuel cylinders in a vehicle, building, or area where they may exposed to high temperature.
• Secure fuel cylinders when being transported.
• If tank is left attached to the machine then valve should be OFF.
• Do not operate the machine with any openings blocked.
• Keep openings free of debris that may reduce airflow.
• Do not place objects on the machine.
• Never use the machine in an explosive environment.
• Do not use the machine as a means of transportation.
• Use a dry powder fire extinguisher in case of fire or use water.
• Do not strike shelving or scaffolding.
• Never remove guards that require tools to remove.
• Use only tools furnished with the machine or those specified in the user's manual.
• If you have any indication that the engine is not running properly, immediately shut the machine off. Perform
routine maintenance and if further service is required, contact your dealer or contact BETCO technical service.
• Maintenance and repairs must be done by qualified personnel.
• If the machine is not working properly, have it serviced by a BETCO authorized service center.
• Have your BETCO service center perform routine maintenance on the machine once a year.
• Remove fuel cylinder and disconnect battery before servicing.
• When replacing parts, use only ORIGINAL replacement parts from your Authorized BETCO Dealer.
• When your BETCO machine is ready to be disposed of, the machine must be disposed of properly. It contains oils
and electronic components. The machine itself was built using totally recyclable materials.
SAFETY (continued)
Silica Dust and the Use of a Respirator
Silica is a sand component of concrete and its dust can cause severe medical conditions, such as; Silicosis, Lung
Cancer, Tuberculosis, Autoimmune and Chronic Kidney Diseases and non-malignant respiratory diseases. BETCO
®
highly recommends the use of a respirator during concrete honing and polishing. For more information on Silica safe
handling, storage and safety measures visit www.u-s-silica.com or call 1-800-35-NIOSH.
TANK USE AND STORAGE
Propane Tank Use
We use OPD gas cylinders designed for vapor withdrawal. The fuel lock offs, regulators, and engines are also de-
signed for vapor withdrawal.
• We recommend that you use the OPD (Overflow Protection Device) vapor withdrawal type cylinder. These style
tanks have a triangle shaped valve handle.
• Do not overfill - the best gauge is a scale - never allow tank to weigh over
36 pounds
for an aluminum tank and
43 pounds
for a steel tank.
• Connect fuel cylinder to machine in a well ventilated place.
• Be aware of possible leaks of propane gas if odor is present.
• Use propane tanks designed for vertical use only.
Propane Tank Storage
• Store tanks outside in a well-ventilated area.
• Never store fuel cylinders in a vehicle, building, or area where they may exposed to high temperature.
• If the machine is stored inside a building, remove the fuel cylinder and store properly outside.
• Secure fuel cylinders when being transported.
• If tank is left attached to the machine then valve should be OFF.
• Store tanks in the upright position (valves up).
• Be aware of possible leaks of propane gas if odor is present.
• New tanks must be purged of air at first fill.
