2.4 Service Safety
WARNING:
Poorly maintained equipment can become a safety hazard! In order for
the equipment to operate safely and properly over a long period of time, periodic
maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary.
2.4.1
DO NOT
attempt to clean or service machine while it is running. Rotating parts can
cause severe injury.
2.4.2
DO NOT
crank a flooded engine with the spark plug removed on gasoline-powered
engines. Fuel trapped in the cylinder will squirt out the spark plug opening.
2.4.3
DO NOT
test for spark on gasoline-powered engines, if engine is flooded or the
smell of gasoline is present. A stray spark could ignite fumes.
2.4.4
DO NOT
use gasoline or other types of fuels or flammable solvents to clean parts,
especially in enclosed areas. Fumes from fuels and solvents can become explosive.
2.4.5
ALWAYS
keep area around muffler free of debris such as leaves, paper, cartons,
etc. A hot muffler could ignite them, starting a fire.
2.4.6
ALWAYS
replace worn or damaged components with spare parts designed and
recommended by us.
2.4.7
ALWAYS
disconnect spark plug on machines equipped with gasoline engines,
before servicing, to avoid accidental start-up.
2.4.8
ALWAYS
keep machine clean and labels legible. Replace all missing and
hard-to-read labels. Labels provide important operating instructions and warn of
dangers and hazards.
