Materials
The following substances may be produced
during the operation of this machine:
• brake lining dust
• engine exhaust fumes
AVOID INHALATION
Ensure that adequate ventilation of the
cooling system and exhaust gases is
maintained at all times.
The following substances are used in the
manufacture of this machine and may be
hazardous to health if used incorrectly:
•anti-freeze
• compressor lubricant
• engine lubricant
• preservative grease
• rust preventative
• diesel fuel
• battery electrolyte
AVOID INGESTION, SKIN CONTACT AND
INHALATION OF FUMES
Should compressor lubricant come into
contact with the eyes, irrigate with water for
at least 5 minutes.
Should compressor lubricant come into
contact with the skin, then wash off
immediately.
Consult a physician if large amounts of
compressor lubricant are ingested.
Consult a physician if compressor lubricants
inhaled.
Never give fluids or induce vomiting if the
patient is unconscious or having
convulsions.
Safety data sheets for compressor and
engine lubricants should be obtained from
the lubricant supplier.

when working on or near the machine.
This machine may include such materials as
oil, diesel fuel, antifreeze, brake fluid, oil/air
filters and batteries which may require proper
disposal when performing maintenance and
service tasks. Contact local authorities for
proper disposal of these materials.
Battery
A battery contains sulfuric acid and can give
off gases which are corrosive and potentially
explosive. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and
clothing. In case of contact, flush area
immediately with water.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SLAVE START A
FROZEN BATTERY SINCE THIS MAY
CAUSE IT TO EXPLODE.
Exercise extreme caution when using
booster battery. To jump battery, connect
ends of one booster cable to the positive (+)
terminal of each battery. Connect one end of
other cable to the negative (-) terminal of the
booster battery and other end to a ground
connection away from dead battery (to avoid
a spark occurring near any explosive gases
that may be present). After starting unit,
always disconnect cables in reverse order.
Radiator
Hot engine coolant and steam can cause
injury. Ensure that the radiator filler cap is
removed with due care and attention.
Do not remove the pressure cap from a HOT
radiator. Allow radiator to cool down before
removing pressure cap.
