SAFETY WARNING!
To prevent possible eye injury, always
wear SAFETY GLASSES while
operating or servicing the equipment.
SAFETY WARNING!
Use genuine factory parts or parts with
equivalent characteristics, including
type, strength and material. Failure to
do so may result in product
malfunction and possible injury to the
operator and/or others.
Fasteners
•
Replace locknuts and locking screws if
you can tighten them without feeling
considerable resistance for several
turns before they are completely tight.
Replace them with factory authorized
parts or their equivalent.
•
If hardware / fasteners are not secure,
or if some of the hardware is over-
tightened, equipment failure may result,
posing possible safety hazards.
Gasoline
SAFETY WARNING!
Gasoline is extremely flammable and
can be highly explosive.
•
Allow engine to cool sufficiently before
refueling.
•
Do not allow smoking, open flames or
sparks while performing maintenance
or refueling.
•
Never remove the fuel tank cap or add
gasoline when the engine is running or
while it is hot.
•
Never fill the fuel tank indoors (fumes
can collect).
•
Wipe up spilled gasoline immediately
and completely.
•
Do not store gasoline in a room with
an appliance that has a pilot light to
where electrical appliances or
switches may cause sparks.
•
Always store gasoline outdoors in a
safety can (a can which has a flame
arrestor and pressure relief valve in
pour spout).
•
Gasoline fumes are heavy and will
sink to the lowest point, collecting and
becoming more and more hazardous.
1 part gasoline in 20 parts air will
explode easily and violently.
•
Never store the equipment with
gasoline in the tank inside a building
where fumes may reach an open
flame or spark. Allow the engine to
cool before storing in any enclosure.
•
Be certain to provide adequate
ventilation if an engine must be run
indoors - exhaust fumes are
dangerous.
Guards & Shields
•
Keep all guards, shields and safety
devices in place at all times, removing
only when necessary for service.
•
Replace all worn, damaged, unusable,
missing or lost safety shields and
guards before operating equipment.
