GENERAL SAFETY
tach Manual
∆ Store fuel in appropriate containers, in well- ven-
tilated areas and away from sparks and flames.
∆ NEVER use fuel as a cleaning agent.
TRANSPORTING
∆ ALWAYS shut down engine before transporting.
∆ Tighten fuel cap securely and close fuel cock to
prevent fuel from spilling.
∆ ALWAYS use proper lifting techniques when
using or moving the machine assembly.
EMISSIONS INFORMATION
∆ DO NOT smoke around or
near the equipment. Fire or
explosion could result from
fuel vapors or if fuel is spilled
on hot engine.
Decommissioning is a controlled process used to
safety retire a piece of equipment that is no longer
serviceable. If the equipment poses an unaccept-
able and unrepairable safety risk due to wear or
damage or is no longer cost effective to maintain
(beyond life-cycle reliability) and is to be decommis-
sioned (demolition and dismantlement), be sure to
follow rules below.
∆ ALWAYS observe all applicable compulsory reg-
ulations relevant to environmental protection,
especially fuel storage, the handling of hazard-
ous substances, and the wearing of protective
clothing and equipment. Instruct the user as a
necessary, or, as the user, request this informa-
tion and training.
∆ ALWAYS Dispose of hazardous waste properly.
Examples of potentially hazardous waste include
used motor oil, fuel, and fuel filters.
∆ DO NOT use food or plastic containers to dis-
pose hazardous waste.
∆ DO NOT pour waste or oil directly onto the
ground, down or drain or into any waste source.

been designed to r4educe harmful levels of carbon
monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC) and nitrogen
oxides (NOx) contained in gasoline exhaust emis-
sions.
This engine has been certified to meet US EPA
Evaporative emission requirements in the installed
configuration.
Attempting to modify or make adjustments to the

sonnel without proper training could damage the
equipment or create an unsafe condition.
Additionally, modifying the fuel system may ad-
versely affect evaporative emissions, resulting in
fines or other penalties.
EMISSION CONTROL LABEL

the emission system and is strictly controlled
by regulation(s).
The label must remain with the engine for its
entire life.
If a replacement emission label is needed,
