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 identication numbers (found on the front of the tongue) to the
investigating ofcer and insurance carrier.
3� If available, provide the investigating ofcer with photographs of the actual machine, manufacturers literature, and
knowledge of any identiable marks that would assist in identifying the machine.
4� Ask for verication that the stolen machine has been entered into the National Crime Information Center (NCIC)
operated by the FBI in Washington D.C.
5� Regularly check the identication 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 ammable 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 re extinguisher on the machine or on the site AT ALL TIMES. Check the extinguisher
regularly to be sure it remains charged. Other re suppression equipment should be installed on the unit. Water tanks
are very good re 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."
NOTE: Many res occur after shut down.
6� Park the machine a minimum of 50 ft. (15,24 mtr) from other equipment in an area cleared of excess debris to minimize
re spread.
7� Maintain a proper level of coolant in the radiator to avoid overheating.
8� Never transport ammable 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 ames away from batteries.
