Service Safety
Poorly maintained equipment can become a safety hazard! In order
for the equipment to operate safely and properly over a long period of
time, periodic maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary.
3.3.1
DO NOT attempt to clean or service machine while it is running.
Rotating parts can cause severe injury.
3.3.2
DO NOT operate engine without air cleaner.
3.3.3
DO NOT remove air cleaner cover, paper element, or precleaner while
engine is running.
3.3.4
DO NOT alter engine speeds. Run the engine only at speeds specified
in the Technical Data Section.
3.3.5
ALWAYS replace worn or damaged components with spare parts
designed and recommended by Wacker.
3.3.6
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.
3.3.7
DO NOT test for spark on gasoline-powered engines, if engine is
flooded or the smell of gasoline is present. A stray spark could ignite
fumes.
3.3.8
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.
3.3.9
ALWAYS replace safety devices and guards after repairs and
maintenance.
3.3.10
ALWAYS keep area around muffler free of debris such as leaves,
paper, cartons, etc. A hot muffler could ignite them, starting a fire.
3.3.11
ALWAYS do Periodic Maintenance as recommended in Operator’s
Manual.
3.3.12
ALWAYS clean debris from engine cooling fins.
3.3.13
ALWAYS disconnect spark plug on machines equipped with gasoline
engines, before servicing, to avoid accidental start-up.
3.3.14
ALWAYS keep machine clean and labels legible. Replace all missing
and hard-to-read labels. Labels provide important operating
instructions and warn of dangers and hazards.
