Warning: Injury
•
Do not operate the equipment with any doors or covers open. There is a danger
of hair, body parts and other items being caught up in moving parts such as
cooling fans and belts.
•
Do not modify the equipment and do not operate with parts removed.
•
Always be sure to stop the engine and remove the starter key before performing
any equipment check or maintenance.
Warning: Injury to Eyes and Skin
•
Use protective gear, such as rubber gloves, when inspecting or replacing the
battery due to the dilute sulfuric acid in the battery fluid. Be sure that fluid does
not get into eyes, or on skin or clothing.
•
If battery fluid gets into the eyes, or on the skin or clothing, immediately wash with
a large amount of water, and always be especially sure to seek medical attention
if it gets into the eyes.
Warning: Explosion
•
Do not operate the equipment or recharge the battery when the battery fluid level
is below the lower level.
•
Do not generate any sparks near the battery and do not allow any fire or other
open flame near the equipment because the battery generates ignitable gas.
Warning: Electromagnetic Interference
•
Persons using a heart pacemaker are not allowed near the welder or welding
work area while welding is being performed without the permission of a doctor.
The welder generates a magnetic field while energized that can negatively affect
pacemaker operation.
Caution: Suffocation from Exhaust Fume
•
Do not direct the engine exhaust towards passersby, private homes or similar
persons/locations because the engine exhaust fume includes components that
are harmful to humans.
Caution: Electric Shock
•
Do not sprinkle water on the equipment and do not use where exposed to rain.
•
If wearing gloves, be sure to always wear gloves with dry insulation properties.
Do not wear gloves that are damaged or wet.
Caution: Burn
•
The engine, muffler and similar parts are extremely hot during operation and
immediately after stopping the equipment. Never touch hot parts.
•
Never open the radiator cap during operation or immediately after stopping the
equipment. Hot cooling water and steam will spurt out.
•
Always be sure to stop the engine and allow it to cool before inspecting or
changing the engine oil. Opening the oil gauge or oil plug during operation will
result in hot oil spurting out.
