Safety Rules
CAUTION: This symbol is used throughout
this book to alert you to possible danger areas.
Please take special notice of these sections.
A warranty registration certifi cate is supplied
with your set. It entitles the original purchaser of our
equipment to a warranty covering material
or assembly faults. The extent of coverage is described
in the Limited Warranty Statement. We recommend
that you study the statement carefully.
NOTE:
If the warranty is to apply, the servicing
instructions outlined in this manual must be
followed. If further information is needed, please con-
tact an authorized dealer or the factory.
CAUTION:
Accident reports show that careless use of engines causes a high percentage of accidents.
You can avoid accidents by observing these safety rules. Study these rules carefully and enforce them on the job.
• Never leave engine without proper security.
• Turn the coolant tank cap slowly to relieve pressure
before removing. Add coolant only when the engine
is stopped and cool.
• Mount
a
fi re extinguisher near engine.
• Always disconnect the battery ground strap before
making adjustments.
• Operate engines in properly ventilated areas.
• Keep trash and other objects away from engine.
• Escaping
fl uids under pressure can penetrate your
skin. Use a piece of cardboard or wood, not your
hands, to search for leaks.
• Avoid wearing loose clothing without a belt when
working around engines.
• Do not oil or grease engine while it is running.
• Use caution in handling fuel. Never refuel a hot
or running engine. Do not smoke while fi lling fuel
