MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND STORAGE.

1)Use only genuine, approved replacement parts and accessories for maintenance and repair. Use of parts and accessories manufactured by others can result in property damage and/or personal injury.

2)Follow the Service instructions as outlined in the appropriate section of this manual.

3)Always stop the engine or electric motor and disconnect the spark plug wire or power source cable BEFORE checking or working on the FLOOR PLANER.

4)Always properly maintain the FLOOR PLANER. Frequently check all fasteners and individual parts. Built in safety features are effective only if they are maintained in good working condition.

If the muffler is equipped with a spark arresting device, determine that it is in proper working condition at regular service intervals. Replace the spark arresting device with an approved replacement if there is any question of it integrity. It is the responsibility of the owner(s) and/or operator(s) to provide for and properly maintain a USDA approved, spark arresting muffler in an operating area specified by law. Check with appropriate governing agencies for more specific information. The FLOOR PLANER must not be operated if the muffler is faulty or has been removed. Contact with a hot engine muffler can cause property damage and/or personal injury.

6)Do not operate the FLOOR PLANER without the use of factory approved V-belt and diamond blade guards that are maintained in proper structural condition.

7)Maintain all safety and operation decals in proper condition. If any decal becomes damaged and/or unreadable, replace with genuine, factory approved, replacement parts only.
