■
Always refuel in a well-ventilated area, away from sparks and
open flames.
■
Always use extreme caution when
working with
flammable
liquids. When
refueling,
stop the
engine and allow it
to cool.
DO NOT
smoke around or near
the machine. Fire or explosion could
result from fuel vapors, or if fuel is spilled
on a hot engine.
■
NEVER
operate the rammer in an explosive atmosphere or
near combustible materials. An explosion or fire could result
causing severe
bodily harm or even death.
■
Topping-off to filler port is dangerous, as it tends to spill fuel.
■
NEVER
touch the hot exhaust
manifold, muffler or cylinder. Allow
these parts to cool before servicing
engine or rammer.
■
The engine section of this rammer requires an adequate free
flow of cooling air. Never operate the rammer in any enclosed
or narrow area where free flow of the air is restricted. If the air
flow is restricted it will cause
serious damage to the
rammer or engine and may
cause injury to people.
Remember the rammer's
engine gives off DEADLY
carbon monoxide gas.
■
High Temperatures
– Allow the engine to cool before adding
fuel or performing service and maintenance functions. Contact
with
hot components can cause serious burns.
