SAFETY
Environment and Circumstances
Exhaust Ventilation
Engine exhaust gases can cause unconsciousness, loss
of alertness, judgment and motor control. This can result
in death or serious injury.
Make sure there is adequate ventilation before starting
engine in any enclosed area.
Check for and be aware of any open windows, doors or
ductwork where exhaust may be carried, or blown by
wind, exposing others to hazardous exhaust gases.
Ventilation for Enclosed Area
If it is necessary to start engine within an enclosed area,
or when handling fuel, flushing oil, or paint; open doors
and windows to ensure that adequate ventilation is
provided to prevent gas poisoning.
Diesel engine exhaust contains products of combustion
which can be harmful to your health.
Always run engine in a well ventilated area. If you are in
an enclosed area, vent exhaust to outside.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
WARNING
Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents
are known to the state of California to cause cancer,
birth defects and other reproductive harm.
Disposal of Hazardous Materials
Physical contact with used motor oil or gear oil could
create a health risk. Wipe oil from your hands promptly
and wash off any remaining residue.
Used motor oil or gear oil is an environmental
contaminant and should only be disposed of at approved
collection facilities. To prevent pollution of environment,
always do the following:
• Never dump waste oil in a sewer system, rivers, etc.
• Always put drained oil from your machine in
approved, leak proof containers. Never drain oil
directly onto ground.
• Obey appropriate laws and regulations when
disposing of harmful materials such as oil, fuel,
solvent, filters, and batteries.
Improperly disposing of waste can threaten environment.
Potentially harmful fluids should be disposed of
according to local regulations.
Use all cleaning solutions with care. Report all necessary
repairs.
