WARNING
!
For safety reasons, do not lift to a height that is higher than necessary.
Stop the engine during transportation.
Transport after the engine and the machine are cooled down.
Always drain the fuel before transporting.
Securely fix the machine to prevent it from moving or falling during transportation.
Appropriate maintenance is required to ensure safe and efficient operation of the machine.
Always pay attention to the machine’ s condition and keep it in good condition. Pay special
attention to the parts used for lifting, if they are not maintained properly, it might result in a
serious accident.
Start maintenance work after the machine has cooled down completely. The muffler, in
particular, becomes very hot, and there is a danger of burn. The engine, engine oil and
vibrator also become very hot. Be careful not to get burned.
Always stop the engine before inspection and adjustment. If you are caught in a rotating
part, serious injury might occur.
After maintenance work, check the security parts to see if they are securely installed.
Special attention should be paid when checking bolts and nuts.
If disassembly is involved in maintenance, refer to the maintenance instruction manual to
make your work safe.
Never put the positive terminal and negative terminal come into contact. Sparks will be
generated, and ignition might occur.
Be careful when handling the battery fluid because it is very toxic. If the battery fluid gets on
your skin, eye, or clothes, rinse it off with plenty of water and consult with a doctor.
