J-SERIES TROWEL— SAFETY MESSAGE ALERT SYMBOLS

FORYOUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS!

Safety precautions should be followed at all times when operating this equipment. Failure to read and understand the Safety Messages and Operating Instructions could result in injury to yourself and others.

NOTE

This Owner's Manual has been developed to provide complete instructions for the safe and efficient operation of the MQ Whiteman J-SERIES TROWEL. For engine maintenance information, please refer to the engine manufacturers instructions for data relative to its safe operation.

Before using this WALK-BEHIND TROWEL, ensure that the operating individual has read and understands all instructions in this manual.

SAFETY MESSAGE ALERT SYMBOLS

The three (3) Safety Messages shown below will inform you about potential hazards that could injure you or others. The Safety Messages specifically address the level of exposure to the operator, and are preceded by one of three words: DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION.

HAZARD SYMBOLS

Lethal Exhaust Gases

Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide. This gas is colorless and odorless, and can cause death if inhaled. NEVER operate this equipment in a confined area or enclosed structure that does not provide ample free flow air.

Explosive Fuel

Gasoline is extremely flammable, and its vapors can cause an explosion if ignited. DO NOT start the engine near spilled fuel or combustible fluids. DO NOT fill the fuel tank while the engine is running or hot. DO NOT overfill tank, since spilled fuel could ignite if it comes into contact with hot engine parts or sparks from the ignition system. Store fuel in approved containers, in well-ventilated areas and away from sparks and flames. NEVER use fuel as a cleaning agent.

DANGER: You WILL be KILLED or SERIOUSLY injured if you DO NOT follow directions.

WARNING: You CAN be KILLED or SERIOUSLY injured if you DO NOT follow directions.

CAUTION: You CAN be injured if you

DO NOT follow directions.

Potential hazards associated with J-Series trowel operation will be referenced with "Hazard Symbols" which appear throughout this manual, and will be referenced in conjunction with Safety "Message Alert Symbols".

Burn Hazards

Engine components can generate extreme heat. To prevent burns, DO NOT touch these areas while the engine is running or immediately after operations. NEVER operate the engine with heat shields or heat guards removed.

Rotating Parts

NEVER operate equipment with covers, or guards removed. Keep fingers, hands, hair and clothing away from all moving parts to prevent injury.
