2.5  Equipment Safety Guidelines

Operating machines safely is one of the main concerns in 
designing and developing Wallenstein equipment. However, 
accidents could occur that can be avoided by a few seconds of 
thought and a more careful approach to handling equipment. 

• 

Keep all shields in place. If shield removal becomes 
necessary for repairs, replace the shield prior to use. In 
some cases, certain illustrations in this manual may show 
an assembly with a safety shield removed for clarity. 
However, equipment should never be used in this condition. 

• 

Replace any safety sign or instruction sign that is not 
readable or is missing. Location and explanation of safety 
signs start on 

page 13

.

• 

Never consume alcoholic beverages or drugs while using 
this equipment. Alertness or coordination can be affected. 
Consult your doctor about using this machine while taking 
prescription medications.

• 

Do not modify the equipment in any way. Unauthorized 
modification may result in serious injury or death and may 
impair the function and life of the equipment. Unapproved 
modifications void warranty. 

• 

Never exceed the limits of a piece of machinery. If its ability 
to do a job, or to do so safely is in question – 

DO NOT TRY 

IT

.

2.6  Safe Condition

Throughout this manual, we talk about a '

Safe Condition

'. What 

this means is setting the machine in a state that makes it safe to 
service or repair.

Place the machine in a Safe Condition before performing 
any service, maintenance work or storage preparation by 
performing the following: 

 SAFE CONDITION

• 

Disengage the drive.

• 

Shut off engine. 

• 

Make sure all moving parts have stopped.

• 

Remove spark plug cable.

• 

Turn fuel valve off.

• 

Block or chock wheels.

2.7  Safety Training

• 

Train all new personnel and review instructions frequently 
with existing workers. Be certain only a properly trained 
and physically able person will use the machinery. A person 
who has not read and understood all instructions is not 
qualified to use the machine. An untrained operator can 
cause possible serious injury or death. 

• 

If this machine is used by any other person, loaned or 
rented, it is the owner's responsibility to make certain that 
prior to using, every operator:

  - knows the meaning of all safety decals
  - reads and understands the owner's manual
  - is instructed in safe and proper use of the equipment
  - understands and knows how to perform the Safe 

Condition procedure
