Keep Work Area Clean
A clean, organized, well-lit work area is important to
promote safe working conditions.
• Keep floor clean of debris and clear of parts and
tools.
• Clean up any spilled fuel, oil, and/or chemicals
immediately.
• Store all air hoses and electrical cords properly
when not in use.
Keep Work Area Well Ventilated
Certain test and adjustment procedures require the
engine to be running. Be sure work area is well venti-
lated; never run the engine in an enclosed area.
Use Proper Eye and Face Protection
Always wear eye protection while in a shop enviro-
ment.
•
•
Safety Glasses: Safety glasses offer a minimum
level of protection from flying debris.
• Face Shields: Face shields are often used along
with safety glasses to offer a higher level of
protection when sparks fly and flying debris are
present.
• Vented Goggles: Goggles offer side protection not
offered by safety glasses alone.
• Un-vented Goggles: Un-vented goggles offer
protection from chemical splashes and vapors.
Use Lifting Equipment Safely
• Always use a lifting deice with a lifting capacity
greater than the weight of the item being lifted.
• Secure the load to the lifting device using cables,
chains, or slings rated to handle the load being lifted.
Fasteners being used to connect lifting devices must
be strong enough to handle the load. Also be sure
the mounting point of the load is strong enough to
handle the load.
• When using a lifting device, always connect the load
so that it is balanced.
• Always use a lifting device on a hard, level surface.
• Lower the lifting device to the lowest point before
moving. Move the load slowly.
• Always support the load as soon as possible; never
leave a load suspended in mid-air.
WARNING
Never operate the engine without proper ventila-
tion; exhaust fumes can be fatal if inhaled.
WARNING
Always use approved personal protection equip-
ment. Avoid workplace hazards by wearing prop-
erly maintained, approved eye and face
protection. Failure to use appropriate protection
equipment may result in death or serious injury.

can result in death or serious injury.
