SAFETY

DANGER
Crush Hazard!
• When you need to transport an
engine for repair, have a helper
assist you to attach it to a hoist
and load it on a truck.
• Never stand under a hoisted engine. If the
hoist mechanism fails, the engine will fall on
you, causing death or serious injury.
• Failure to comply will result in death or
serious injury.
WARNING
Sever Hazard!
• Keep hands and other body parts
away from moving/rotating parts
such as the cooling fan, flywheel
or PTO shaft.
• Wear tight-fitting clothing and keep your hair
short or tie it back while the engine is running.
• Remove all jewelry before you operate or
service the machine.
• Never start the engine in gear. Sudden
movement of the engine and/or machine
could cause death or serious personal injury.
• Never operate the engine without the guards
in place.
• Before you start the engine make sure that all
bystanders are clear of the area.
• Keep children and pets away while the engine
is operating.
• Check before starting the engine that any
tools or shop rags used during maintenance
have been removed from the area.
• Failure to comply could result in death or
serious injury.
WARNING
Exhaust Hazard!
• Never operate the engine in an
enclosed area such as a garage,
tunnel, underground room,
manhole or ship’s hold without
proper ventilation.
• Never block windows, vents, or other means
of ventilation if the engine is operating in an
enclosed area. All internal combustion
engines create carbon monoxide gas during
operation. Accumulation of this gas within an
enclosure could cause illness or even death.
• Make sure that all connections are tightened
to specifications after repair is made to the
exhaust system.
• Failure to comply could result in death or
serious injury.
WARNING
Alcohol and Drug Hazard!
• Never operate the engine while
you are under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
• Never operate the engine when you are feeling
ill.
• Failure to comply could result in death or
serious injury.
