SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
The engine and components of the exhaust and hydraulic systems become extremely hot during operation. Risk of burn injuries if touched.
•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 of leaking fuel or fuel vapour leading to damages.
•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 taking any actions in the engine room.
WARNING!
The battery contains lead and lead compounds, chemicals that are considered to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive impairment. Wash you hands after touching the battery.
•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.
•Be careful when servicing the battery. 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 screws 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 settings of governors and avoid running the engine with overly high engine speeds. If you run too fast, you risk damaging the machine components.
