Typical example
There may be several specific safety messages on
an engine. The exact location of the hazards and the
description of the hazards are reviewed in this
section. Become familiar with all warning signs.
Ensure that all the warning signs are legible. Clean
the warning signs or replace the warning signs if the
words cannot be read or if the pictures are not visible.
When the warning signs are cleaned, use a cloth,
water, and soap. Do not use solvent, gasoline, or
other harsh chemicals to clean the warning signs.
Solvents, gasoline, or harsh chemicals could loosen
the adhesive that secures the warning signs. The
warning signs that are loosened could drop off the
engine.
Replace any damaged warning signs or missing
warning signs. If a warning sign is attached to a part
of the engine that is replaced, install a new warning
sign on the replacement part. Any Perkins distributor
can provide new warning signs.
Do not work on the engine and do not operate the
engine unless the instructions and warnings in the
Operation and Maintenance Manual are understood.
Correct care is your responsibility. Failure to follow
the instructions or failure to heed the warnings could
result in injury or in death.
The warning labels that may be found on the engine
are illustrated and described.
Ether (1)
The warning label for ether is on the front, left side of
the valve mechanism cover for all engine models in
the series.
Illustration 2 g01154809
Do not spray starting aids such as ether into the air
inlet. Such use could result in an explosion and
personal injury.
