SAFETY
TRANSPORT
1. Make sure you are in compliance with all
local regulations regarding transporting of
equipment on public roads and highways. DO
NOT DRINK AND DRIVE and ALWAYS USE
SEAT BELTS.
2. Be sure the lights and reflectors that are
required by local highway and transport authorities
are in place, are clean, are in good repair and can
be seen clearly by all overtaking and oncoming
traffic.
3. Raise and secure the broom before
transporting.
STORAGE
1. Store the broom in an area away from
human activity.
2. Do not permit children to play on or around
the stored machine.
3. Make sure the unit is stored in an area that
is firm, level and free of debris.
4. Store the broom inside a building,or cover it
with a weather-proof tarpaulin and support it
securely.
TIRES
1. Failure to follow proper procedures when
mounting a tire on a wheel or rim can produce an
explosion which may result in serious injury or
death.
2. Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you
have the proper equipment and experience. If in
doubt, have a qualified tire dealer or repair person
perform required tire maintenance.
4. When inflating tires, use a self attaching
chuck with remote shut off. Stand clear of the tire.
5. Do not inflate tires beyond the maximum
recommended inflation pressure.
6. Do not hammer on rims with steel
hammers. Use rubber, lead, plastic or brass faced
mallets if necessary.
7. Put hardwood blocks under the jacks
regardless of how hard the ground is. Block
wheels on opposite side of the vehicle before you
place a jack in position. Always support the
vehicle with blocks or preferably jack stands in
case the jack slips.
8. Do not operate the machine with loose
wheels or rims. Check wheel nuts for proper
torque.
REFUELING
1. Handle fuel with care. It is highly flammable.
When refuelling, keep the hose nozzle or funnel in
contact with the metal of the tank to avoid an
electrical shock igniting the fuel. Maintain control
of the filler nozzle.
2. Clean up spilled fuel before restarting the
engine. A spark could ignite the spillage.
3. Do not smoke while refueling
the machine. Do not refuel the
machine near open flame or sparks.
Do not refuel while the engine is
running. Do not use fuel for
cleaning purposes. Death or
serious injury can occur from explosion or fire.
4. Fill fuel tank outdoors to reduce the chance
of fumes accumulating and causing a fire or
explosion. Keep the hose nozzle or
funnel inside the tank while filling to
avoid spilling fuel. Spilled fuel is a fire
hazzard.
5. Prevent fires by keeping
machine clean of accumulated trash,
grease and debris.
6. Do not fill tank to capacity. Allow room for
expansion. Expansion and spillage create a fire
hazard.
