1.3 Service Safety
A poorly maintained machine can become a safety hazard! In order
for the machine to operate safely and properly over a long period of
time, periodic maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary.
1.3.1 Do not attempt to clean or service the machine while it is running.
Rotating parts can cause severe injury.
1.3.2 Do not crank a flooded engine with the spark plug removed on
gasoline-powered engines. Fuel trapped in the cylinder will squirt out
the spark plug opening.
1.3.3 Keep the area around the muffler free of debris such as leaves, paper,
cartons, etc. A hot muffler could ignite the debris and start a fire.
1.3.4 Replace worn or damaged components with spare parts designed and
recommended by Wacker Neuson Corporation.
1.3.5 Disconnect the spark plug on machines equipped with gasoline
engines, before servicing, to avoid accidental start-up.
1.3.6 Do not use gasoline or other types of fuels or flammable solvents to
clean parts, especially in enclosed areas. Fumes from fuels and
solvents can become explosive.
1.3.7 Handle impeller carefully. The impeller can develop sharp edges which
can cut.
