SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
HOT EXHAUST PRECAUTIONS
Servicing machine or attachments with
engine running can result in serious
personal injury. Avoid exposure and skin
contact with hot exhaust gases and
components.
Exhaust parts and streams become very hot during
operation. Exhaust gases and components reach
temperatures hot enough to burn people, ignite, or melt
common materials.
WORK IN VENTILATED AREA
Engine exhaust fumes can cause sickness
or death. If it is necessary to run an engine
in an enclosed area, remove the exhaust
fumes from the area with an exhaust pipe
extension.
If you do not have an exhaust pipe extension, open the
doors and get outside air into the area.
WASTE DISPOSAL
Improperly disposing of waste can threaten
the environment and ecology. Potentially
harmful waste used in engines include
such items as oil, fuel, coolant, fluids filters
and batteries.
Use leak-proof containers when draining fluids; Do not
pour waste into the sea, ground, down a drain, or into
any other water source.
Contact your local environmental or recycling center, or
your dealer for information on the proper way to recycle
or dispose of waste.
UNWANTED ENGINE START
Avoid possible injury or death from engine
runaway. Do not start engine by shorting
across the starter motor solenoid terminals
posts. Engine will start if normal circuitry
is bypassed. Start engine from operator’s
seat.
