1.2 Operator Safety while using Internal Combustion Engines
Internal combustion engines present special hazards during operation
and fueling! Read and follow warning instructions in engine owner's
manual and safety guidelines below. Failure to follow warnings and
safety guidelines could result in severe injury or death.
1.2.1 DO NOT smoke while operating machine.
1.2.2 DO NOT smoke when refueling engine.

1.2.6 DO NOT test for spark on gasoline-powered engines, if engine is
flooded or the smell of gasoline is present. A stray spark could ignite
fumes.

1.2.8 ALWAYS refill fuel tank in well-ventilated area.

1.2.10 Service Safety
Poorly maintained equipment can become a safety hazard! In order
for the equipment to operate safely and properly over a long period of
time, periodic maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary.
1.2.11 DO NOT attempt to clean or service machine while it is running.
Rotating parts can cause severe injury.
1.2.12 DO NOT crank a flooded engine with the spark plug removed on
gasoline-powered engines. Fuel trapped in the cylinder will squirt out
the spark plug opening.
1.2.13 ALWAYS keep area around muffler free of debris such as leaves,
paper, cartons, etc. A hot muffler could ignite them, starting a fire.
1.2.14 ALWAYS replace worn or damaged components with spare parts
designed and recommended by Wacker.
1.2.15 ALWAYS disconnect spark plug on machines equipped with gasoline
engines, before servicing, to avoid accidental start-up.
1.2.16 DO NOT use gasoline or other types of fuels or flammable solvents to
clean parts, especially in enclosed areas. Fumes from fuels and
solvents can become explosive.
1.2.17 ALWAYS handle impeller carefully. The impeller can develop sharp
edges which can cut.
