A warranty registration certificate 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
contact 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.
• Use caution in handling fuel. Never refuel a hot
or running engine. Do not smoke while filling
fuel tank or servicing fuel system.
• Keep your hands, feet, hair and clothing away
from power-driven parts.
• Check for any loose electrical connections or
faulty wiring.
• Engines should be operated only by knowledge-
able, qualified personnel.
• Look completely around engine to make sure
that everything is clear before starting.
• Do not operate an engine that isn't in proper
working order. If an unsafe operating condition is
noted, tag the set and control panel so others will
also know about the problem.
• Provide first aid kits.
• 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 fire 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 fluids 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.
