AFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING – LETHAL EXHAUST GAS! An engine discharges carbon
monoxide during operation, which may cause death if inhaled for even a
short period of time. Operate only where deadly exhaust can be safely
dissipated.
WARNING – DANGEROUS FUEL! Never add fuel to fuel tank while the
engine is operating, Stop engine and allow it to cool thoroughly to prevent
fuel from igniting on contact with hot parts.
WARNING – MOVING HOT PARTS! Careless operating of power
equipment creates hazards to life and limb. Never operate with safety
guards removed. Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from hot parts.
Remember that an engine gets hot while operating, and exhaust system
components get extremely hot. Never tamper with governor setting to gain
more power. The governor establishes safe operating limits. Over speed not
only shortens engine life but can be extremely hazardous. Keep people
away from the operating area and be especially watchful for children. Stop
the engine whenever you leave the machine. Do not allow it to idle
unattended.
WARNING – AVOID RUNAWAY! Always engage the parking brake
before dismounting the BASIC roller. When parking the machine overnight
always park on a level surface when possible and secure the tires with blocks
in the front and rear to prevent accidental rollaway. When it is not possible
to park on level ground, position the machine at right angles to the slope.
Make sure the machine is on a firm footing and that there is no danger of
sliding.
Never mount or dismount a machine that is moving. Maintain control of
your machine at all times.
Always operate your machine slowly until you are fully familiarized with its
operation.
Constantly check your work area for possible hazards.
