A DANGER
0000006en
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD!
• Diesel fuel is extremely flammable and
explosive under certain conditions.
• Place an approved container under the
air bleed port when you prime the fuel
system. Never use a shop rag to catch
the fuel. Wipe up any spills
immediately. ALWAYS close the air
bleed port after you complete priming
the system.
• Wear eye protection. The fuel system
is under pressure and fuel could spray
out when you open the air bleed port.
• If the unit has an electric fuel pump,
turn the key switch to the ON position
for 10 to 15 seconds, or until the fuel
coming out of the air bleed port is free
of bubbles, to allow the electric fuel
pump to prime the system.
• If the unit has a mechanical fuel pump,
operate the fuel priming pump several
times until the fuel coming out of the
air bleed port is free of bubbles.
• Failure to comply will result in death or
serious injury.
A WARNING
0000003en
EXHAUST HAZARD!
• NEVER operate the engine in an
enclosed area such as a garage,
tunnel, underground room, manhole or
ship’s hold without proper ventilation.
• NEVER block windows, vents, or other
means of ventilation if the engine is
operating in an enclosed area. All
internal combustion engines create
carbon monoxide gas during
operation. Accumulation of this gas
within an enclosure could cause
illness or even death.
• Make sure that all connections are
tightened to specifications after repair
is made to the exhaust system.
• Failure to comply could result in death
or serious injury.
