COMPACTOR SAFETY

DANGER

„NEVER operate the equipment in an explosive atmosphere or near combustible materials.An explosion or fire could result causing severe bodily harm or even death.

WARNING

„NEVER disconnect any emergency or safety devices. These devices are intended for operator safety. Disconnection of these devices can cause severe injury, bodily harm or even death. Disconnection of any of these devices will void all warranties.

CAUTION

„NEVER lubricate components or attempt service on a running machine.

NOTICE

„ALWAYS keep the machine in proper running condition.

„Fix damage to machine and replace any broken parts immediately.

„ALWAYS store equipment properly when it is not being used. Equipment should be stored in a clean, dry location out of the reach of children and unauthorized personnel.

ENGINE SAFETY

DANGER

„The engine fuel exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide. This gas is colorless and odorless, and can cause death if inhaled.

„The engine of this equipment requires an adequate free flow of cooling air. NEVER operate this equipment in any enclosed or narrow

area where free flow of the air is restricted. If the air

flow is restricted it will cause injury to people and property and serious damage to the equipment or engine.

WARNING

„DO NOT place hands or fingers inside engine compartment when engine is running.

„NEVER operate the engine with heat shields or guards removed.

„ Keep fingers, hands hair and clothing away from all moving parts to prevent injury.

„DO NOT remove the radiator cap while the

engine is hot. High pressure boiling water will gush out of the radiator and severely scald any persons in the general area of the compactor.

„ DO NOT remove the coolant drain plug while the engine is hot. Hot coolant will gush out of the coolant tank and severely scald any persons in the general area of the compactor.

„DO NOT remove the engine oil drain plug while the engine is hot. Hot oil will gush out of the oil tank and severely scald any persons in the general area of the compactor.

CAUTION

„NEVER touch the hot exhaust manifold, muffler or cylinder. Allow these parts to cool

before servicing equipment.

NOTICE

„NEVER run engine without an air filter or with a dirty air filter. Severe engine damage may occur. Service air filter frequently to prevent engine malfunction.

„NEVER tamper with the factory settings of the engine or engine governor. Damage to the engine or equipment can result

if operating in speed ranges above the maximum allowable.

„NEVER tip the engine to extreme angles during lifting as it may cause oil to gravitate into the cylinder head, making the engine start difficult.
