Safety

DANGER

In certain conditions diesel fuel is extremely flammable and vapors are explosive.

A fire or explosion from diesel fuel can burn you, others, and cause property damage.

•Fill the fuel tank outdoors in an open area, when the engine is cold. Wipe up any diesel fuel that spills.

•Never refill the fuel tank or drain the machine indoors or inside an enclosed trailer.

•Do Not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add diesel fuel to the fuel tank until the level is 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6–13 mm) below the bottom of the filler neck. This empty space in the tank allows diesel fuel to expand.

•Never smoke when handling diesel fuel, and stay away from an open flame or where diesel fuel fumes may be ignited by spark.

•Store diesel fuel in an approved container and keep it out of the reach of children.

•Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel when engine is running or when the engine is hot.

•If fuel is spilled, Do Not attempt to start the engine. Move away from the area of the spill and avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated.

•Do Not operate without entire exhaust system in place and in proper working condition.

WARNING

Diesel fuel is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term exposure to vapors has caused cancer in laboratory animals. Failure to use caution may cause serious injury or illness.

•Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.

•Keep face away from nozzle and diesel tank/container opening.

•Keep away from eyes and skin.

•Never siphon by mouth.

•Check that the operator’s presence controls, safety switches, and shields are attached and functioning properly. Do Not operate unless they are functioning properly.

Operation

WARNING

Operating engine parts, especially the muffler, become extremely hot. Severe burns can occur on contact and debris, such as leaves, grass, brush, etc. can catch fire.

•Allow engine parts, especially the muffler, to cool before touching.

•Remove accumulated debris from muffler and engine area.

•Install and maintain in working order a spark arrester before using equipment on forest-covered, grass-covered, or brush-covered unimproved land.

WARNING

Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which is an odorless deadly poison that can kill you.

Do Not run engine indoors or in a small confined area where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.

•Operate only in daylight or good artificial light, keeping away from holes and hidden hazards.
