A poorly maintained machine can become a safety hazard! In order
for the machine to operate safely and properly over a long period of
time, periodic maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Wear the following Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) while
servicing or maintaining this machine:
• Close-fitting work clothes that do not hinder movement
• Safety glasses with side shields
• Hearing protection
• Safety-toed footwear
In addition, before servicing or maintaining the machine:
• Tie back long hair.

1.5.1 ALWAYS check all external fasteners at regular intervals.
1.5.2 Do not modify the machine without the express written approval of the
manufacturer.
1.5.3 Do not attempt to clean or service the machine while it is running. Rotating
parts can cause severe injury.
1.5.4 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.
1.5.5 Some service procedures require that the machine’s battery be disconnected.
To reduce the risk of personal injury, read and understand the service
procedures before performing any service to the machine.
1.5.6 ALWAYS make sure slings, chains, hooks, ramps, jacks, and other types of
lifting devices are attached securely and have enough weight-bearing capacity
to lift or hold the machine safely. Always remain aware of the location of other
people in the area when lifting the machine.

electric start, disconnect the negative terminal on the battery before servicing
the machine.
1.5.8 Keep the area around the muffler free of debris such as leaves, paper, cartons,
etc. A hot muffler could ignite the debris and start a fire.
1.5.9 Do not tip the machine for cleaning or for any other reason.
1.5.10 DO NOT open hydraulic lines or loosen hydraulic connections while the engine
is running! Hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin, cause burns,
