AVOID INJURY OR DEATH

• Stop and cool the engine before adding fuel. NO SMOKING!
• Do not service the machine or attachment with the PTO system engaged.
• Keep the engine area clean of flammable material and other debris.
• Do not wear loose clothing, long uncovered hair or jewelry near vehicle.
• Wear eye protection or other protective equipment as needed when servicing.
• Never use ether or starting fluid on diesel engine with glow plugs. Use only 

starting aids as approved by the engine manufacturer.

• When connecting the booster battery for 

jump start

, always connect the 

negative cable 

last

 to the engine, never at the battery. When removing the 

jump start

 cables, always remove the negative cable (-) from engine first. 

Never charge or 

jump start 

a frozen battery.

• Lead-acid batteries produce flammable and explosive gases. Keep arcs, 

sparks, flames and lighted tobacco away from battery.

• Battery acid causes severe burns. In case of acid contact, wash immediately 

with water for several minutes and get medical attention in case of eye 

contact.

• Use a piece of cardboard to check for leaks. Leaking fluids under pressure 

can enter the skin and cause serious injury. If fluid enters skin or eyes, get 

immediate medical attention from a physician familiar with this injury.
