Make sure that all clamps, guards, and heat shields
are installed correctly. During engine operation, this
will help to prevent vibration, rubbing against other
parts, and excessive heat.

Crushing Prevention and
Cutting Prevention
Support the component correctly when work beneath
the component is performed.
Unless other maintenance instructions are provided,
never attempt adjustments while the engine is
running.
Stay clear of all rotating parts and of all moving parts.
Leave the guards in place until maintenance is
performed. After the maintenance is performed,
reinstall the guards.
Keep objects away from moving fan blades. The fan
blades will throw objects or cut objects.
When objects are struck, wear protective glasses in
order to avoid injury to the eyes.
Chips or other debris may fly off objects when objects
are struck. Before objects are struck, ensure that no
one will be injured by flying debris.

Mounting and Dismounting
The steps or handholds may not be installed on the
engine. Refer to the OEM for information before any
maintenance or repair is performed.
Inspect the steps, the handholds, and the work area
before mounting the engine. Keep these items clean
and keep these items in good repair.
Mount the engine and dismount the engine only at
locations that have steps and/or handholds. Do not
climb on the engine, and do not jump off the engine.
Face the engine in order to mount the engine or
dismount the engine. Maintain a three-point contact
with the steps and handholds. Use two feet and one
hand or use one foot and two hands. Do not use any
controls as handholds.
Do not stand on components which cannot support
your weight. Use an adequate ladder or use a work
platform. Secure the climbing equipment so that the
equipment will not move.
Do not carry tools or supplies when you mount the
engine or when you dismount the engine. Use a hand
line to raise and lower tools or supplies.

Ignition Systems
Ignition systems can cause electrical shocks. Avoid
contacting the ignition system components and
wiring.
If the control is in the AUTOMATIC or START position
the ignition system may discharge, and a spark plug
will operate. The spark plug will ignite any gas that
has accumulated in that cylinder. The crankshaft and
the driven equipment can move. Personal injury may
result. Gas that has accumulated in the exhaust
system can also be ignited.
Ensure that the power supply is isolated before any
service or repairs are performed.
i02453806
Before Starting Engine
Inspect the engine for potential hazards.
Before starting the engine, ensure that no one is on,
underneath, or close to the engine. Ensure that the
area is free of personnel.
Ensure that the engine is equipped with a lighting
system that is suitable for the conditions. Ensure that
all lights work properly.
All protective guards and all protective covers must
be installed if the engine must be started in order to
perform service procedures. To help prevent an
accident that is caused by parts in rotation, work
around the parts carefully.
Do not bypass the automatic shutoff circuits. Do not
disable the automatic shutoff circuits. The circuits are
provided in order to help prevent personal injury. The
circuits are also provided in order to help prevent
engine damage.
The initial start-up of a new engine or a engine that
has been serviced make provision to shut the engine
off, in order to stop an overspeed. This may be
accomplished by shutting off the fuel supply to the
engine, or shutting off the ignition system.
