Safety - 7
SAFETY
Tire Safety
Explosive separation of a tire and rim parts can cause
serious injury or death:
•
Do not attempt to mount a tire without the proper
equipment and experience to perform the job.
•
Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflate
the tires above the recommended pressure. Never weld or
heat a wheel and tire assembly. The heat can cause an
increase in air pressure resulting in a tire explosion.
Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.
•
When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension
hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side and
NOT in front of or over the tire assembly.
•
Check tires for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, damaged
rims or missing lug bolts and nuts.
Handling Fuel Safely
Fuel and fuel vapors are highly flammable:
•
DO NOT refuel machine while you smoke, when
machine is near an open flame or sparks, or when engine
is running. STOP engine.
•
Fill fuel tank outdoors.
•
Prevent fires: clean oil, grease and dirt from machine.
Clean up spilled fuel immediately.
•
Do not store machine with fuel in tank in a building
where fumes may reach an open flame or spark.
•
To prevent fire and explosion caused by static electric
discharge, while you fill tank, use a non-metal fuel
container. If you use a funnel, MAKE SURE it is PLASTIC
and has a plastic mesh strainer. Avoid using a funnel which
has a metal screen or filter.
•
Use only clean approved containers and funnels.
•
Store oil and fuel in an area protected from dust,
moisture and other contamination.
•
DO NOT use METHANOL gasoline. METHANOL is
harmful to the environment and to your health.
Handling Waste Product and Chemicals
Waste products, such as, used oil, fuel, coolant, brake
fluid, and batteries, can harm the environment and
people:
•
DO NOT use beverage containers for waste fluids -
someone may drink from them.
•
See your local Recycling Center or SABO dealer to
learn how to recycle or get rid of waste products.
