Positioning the Machine
CO Alarms
Because this machine produces carbon monoxide (CO), Wacker Neuson
recommends that CO alarms be installed in all structures in close proximity to the
machine. CO alarms provide an extra measure of protection against this poison
that you cannot see or smell.
Install battery-operated CO alarms or plug-in CO alarms with battery backup,
according to the manufacturer’s instructions. CO alarms should be certified to the
requirements of the latest safety standards (UL 2034, IAS 6-96, or CSA 6.19.01).
Test the CO alarm batteries monthly.
This procedure continues on the next page.
DANGER
Carbon monoxide
. Using the machine indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide (CO). This is a deadly poison you cannot
see or smell. If you can smell the exhaust, you are breathing CO. Even if you
cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO.
f
NEVER operate the machine inside an enclosed area, such as a home, tunnel,
or garage.
f
ONLY use the machine outside and far away from windows, doors, and vents.
These openings can pull in exhaust.
f
ALWAYS use a battery-powered or battery-backup CO alarm in nearby struc-
tures. Even when you use the machine correctly, CO may leak into nearby
structures.
f
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the machine has been running, move
to fresh air IMMEDIATELY. See a doctor. You could have carbon monoxide
poison.
