Manufacturer does not assume responsibility for any accident due to equipment modifications.

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 compactor.

NEVERtouchthehot exhaustmanifold, muffler or cylinder.Allow these parts to cool before servicing engine or

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 compactor requires an adequate free flow of cooling air. NEVER operate the 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 compactor or engine and may cause injury to people and property.

Remember the compactor's enginegivesoff 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 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 stored the 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 compactor unattended, turn off engine.

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