EQUIPMENT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! KNOW WHERE UTILITIES ARE
Observe overhead electrical and other utility lines. Be sure equipment will clear
them. When digging, call your local utilities for location of buried utility lines, gas,
water, and sewer, as well as any other hazard you may encounter.
WARNING! EXPOSURE TO RESPIRABLE CRYSTALLINE SILICA DUST
ALONG WITH OTHER HAZARDOUS DUSTS MAY CAUSE SE-
RIOUS OR FATAL RESPIRATORY DISEASE.
It is recommended to use dust suppression, dust collection and if necessary person-
al protective equipment during the operation of any attachment that may cause high
levels of dust.
WARNING! REMOVE PAINT BEFORE WELDING OR HEATING
Hazardous fumes/dust can be generated when paint is heated by welding, soldering
or using a torch. Do all work outside or in a well ventilated area and dispose of paint
and solvent properly. Remove paint before welding or heating.
When sanding or grinding paint, avoid breathing the dust. Wear an approved respira-
tor. If you use solvent or paint stripper, remove stripper with soap and water before
welding. Remove solvent or paint stripper containers and other ammable material
from area. Allow fumes to disperse at least 15 minutes before welding or heating.
WARNING! END OF LIFE DISPOSAL
At the completion of the useful life of the unit, drain all uids and dismantle by sepa-
rating the different materials (rubber, steel, plastic, etc.). Follow all federal, state and
local regulations for recycling and disposal of the iud and components.
