FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD!
• Diesel fuel is extremely flammable and
explosive under certain conditions.
• Be sure to place the diesel fuel
container on the ground when
transferring diesel fuel from the pump
to the container. Hold the hose nozzle
firmly against the side of the container
while filling it. This prevents static
electricity build-up which could cause
sparks and ignite fuel vapors.
• NEVER place diesel fuel or other
flammable material such as oil, hay or
dried grass close to the engine during
engine operation or shortly after shut
down.
• Failure to comply will result in death or
serious injury.

• When you need to transport an engine
for repair have a helper assist you
attach it to a hoist and load it on a
truck.
• NEVER stand under hoisted engine. If
the hoist mechanism fails, the engine
will fall on you, causing serious injury
or death.
• Failure to comply will result in death or
serious injury.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD!
• Diesel fuel is extremely flammable and
explosive under certain conditions.
• Before you operate the engine, check
for fuel leaks. Replace rubberized fuel
hoses every two years or every 2000
hours of engine operation, whichever
comes first, even if the engine has
been out of service. Rubberized fuel
lines tend to dry out and become
brittle after two years or 2000 hours of
engine operation, whichever comes
first.
• Failure to comply will result in death or
serious injury.

battery charge.
• If the electrolyte is frozen, slowly warm
the battery before you recharge it.
• Failure to comply will result in death or
serious injury.
