■Whenever necessary, replace nameplate, operation and safety decals when they become difficult read.

■ALWAYS wear proper respiratory (mask), hearing and eye protection equipment when operating the reversible plate compactor.

■NEVER touch the hot exhaust manifold, muffler or cylinder. Allow these parts to cool before servicing engine or reversible plate compactor.

■HighTemperatures – Allow the engine to cool before adding fuel or performing service and maintenance functions. Contact with hot components can cause serious burns.

■The engine of this reversible plate compactor requires an adequate free flow of cooling air. NEVER operate the reversible plate compactor in any enclosed or narrow area where free flow of the air is

restricted. If the air flow is restricted it will cause serious damage to the reversible plate compactor or engine and may cause injury to people and property. Remember the vibration roller's engine gives off DEADLY gases.

■ALWAYS refuel in a well-ventilated area, away from sparks and open flames.

■ALWAYS use extreme caution when working with flammable liquids. When refueling, stop the engine and allow it to cool. DO NOT smoke around or near the machine. Fire or explosion could result from fuel vapors, or if fuel is spilled on a hot engine.

■NEVER operate the reversible plate compactor in an explosive atmosphere or near

combustible materials. An explosion or fire could result causing severe bodily harm or even death.

■Topping-off to filler port is dangerous, as it tends to spill fuel.

■ALWAYS store the reversible plate compactor in a clean, dry location out of the reach of children.

■NEVER run engine without air cleaner. Severe engine damage may occur.

■NEVER leave the reversible plate compactor unattended, turn off engine.

■CAUTION must always be observed while servicing this reversible plate compactor. Rotating parts can cause injury if contacted.
