CRIME PREVENTION
REPORT THEFT
1. If a theft occurs, notify the law enforcement
agency having jurisdiction and the insurance
carrier immediately.
2. Give a full description and a complete set of
serial and identification numbers (found on the
tongue near the front) to the investigating officer and
insurance carrier.
3. If available, provide the investigating officer
with photographs of the actual machine, manu-
facturers literature and knowledge of any iden-
tifiable marks that would assist in identifying
the machine.
4. Ask for verification that the stolen machine has
been entered into the National Crime Informa-
tion Center (NCIC) operated by the FBI in
Washington D.C.
5. Regularly check the identification plates on all
machines and report any missing or destroyed
plate.
FIRE PROTECTION
1. Perform daily maintenance.
2. It is the operator's responsibility to remove debris and accumulated oil, grease and other
flammable material around the power unit and around bearings daily. Pressure wash your
machine weekly. During dry conditions or heavy leaf fall periods, clean the unit twice daily
or as frequently as needed.
3. Inspect battery cables, connections, wiring and electrical components weekly. Use the battery
disconnect switch whenever the machine is left unattended.
4. Have an approved, charged fire extinguisher on the machine or on the site AT ALL TIMES.
Check the extinguisher regularly to be sure it remains charged. Other fire suppression
equipment should be installed on the unit. Water tanks are very good fire suppression units
as is a halon gas extinguisher.
5. Have the operator watch and check the equipment for 15-20 minutes after shut down to
ensure adequate "cool down time."
IMPORTANT: Many fires occur after shut down.
6. Park the machine a minimum of 50 ft. from other equipment in an area cleared of excess
debris to minimize fire spread.
7. Maintain a proper level of coolant in the radiator to avoid overheating.
8. Never transport flammable liquids on the machine in separate containers (gas cans, jugs, etc.)
9. When refueling, shut off power unit and DO NOT SMOKE.
10. Keep all sparks and flames away from batteries.
