SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

•If leaks arise in the fuel system, the engine must not be started until the problem has been resolved.

•Store the machine and fuel in such a way that there is no risk that leaking fuel or fumes can cause any damage.

•Check the fuel level before each use and leave space for the fuel to expand, because the heat from the engine and the sun may otherwise cause the fuel to expand and overflow.

•Avoid overfilling. If you spill petrol on the machine, wipe up the spill and wait until it has evaporated before starting the engine. If you spill petrol on your clothing, change your clothing.

•Allow the machine to cool before performing any actions in the engine compartment.

•Be especially careful when handling battery acid. Acid on the skin can cause serious corrosive injuries. In the event of spillage on the skin wash immediately with water.

•Acid in the eyes can cause blindness, contact a doctor immediately.

•Take care with battery maintenance. Explosive gases form in the battery. Never perform maintenance on the battery while smoking or in the vicinity of open flames or sparks. This can cause the battery to explode and cause serious injuries.

•Make sure all nuts and bolts are tightened correctly and that the equipment is in good condition.

•Do not modify safety equipment. Check regularly to be sure it works properly. The machine must not be driven if protective plates, protective covers, safety switches or other protective devices are not fitted or are defective.

•Do not change the setting of governors and avoid running the engine at excessively high revs. If you run too fast, you risk damaging the machine components.

WARNING!

The engine and the exhaust system become very hot during operation.

Risk of burn injuries if touched.

WARNING!

The battery contains lead and lead pollutants, chemicals that are considered to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive impairment. Wash your hands after touching the battery.
