SAFETY/CAUTION/WARNINGS 

 
ATTENTION:    This engine has components and 
fluids that reach very high operating temperatures 
and is provided with moving pulleys and belts. 
Approach with caution. It is the responsibility of the 
builder of the machine using a Clarke engine to 
optimize the application in terms of maximum end 
user safety. 
 
BASIC RULES 
 
The following recommendations are given to reduce 
the risk to persons and property when an engine is in 
service or out of service. 
 
Engines must not be used for applications other than 
those declared under “Scope of Supply”. 
 
Incorrect handling, modifications and use of non-
original parts may affect safety.  When lifting the 
engine, take care to use suitable equipment to be 
applied to the points specially provided as shown on 
the appropriate Engine Installation Drawing.  Engine 
weights are shown in

When Clarke furnishes the base (or module) for the 
engine and pump set, the combined weight of the  
engine and base (or module) will be indicated on the  
unit.  

Caution, when lifting, lift point should 

always be over the equipment Center of Gravity. 
 

Note:  The engine produces a noise level exceeding  
70 dB(a).  When performing the weekly functional 
test, it is recommended that hearing protection be 
worn by operating personnel.  
 
CLARKE UK provides the machine manufacturer  
with a “Declaration of Incorporation”  
for the Engine, when required, a copy of which is  
enclosed in the manual. This document clearly states  
the machine manufacturers’ duties and  
responsibilities with respect to health and safety.
