WARNING
READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
BEFORE OPERATING MACHINE
1.
ENGINE AND FUEL
: This machine uses gasoline as the fuel for the internal
combustion engine and all precautions commonly applying to this volatile fuel should be
observed. Exercise extreme caution to avoid spilling of gasoline. If spillage occurs,
wipe it off and allow evaporation time before starting the engine.
DO NOT
attempt to
put fuel in tank while the machine is still running. Avoid smoking or open flame in area
when handling gasoline. Never run the unit indoors unless exhaust is vented to outside.
These fumes contain carbon monoxide which is colorless and odorless and can be fatal.
CAUTION
Do not operate engine without muffler
NOTE:
The engine is equipped with a muffler that has a U.S. Forestry Service approved spark
arrestor which is required by law in some states
.
DO NOT TOUCH HOT MUFFLER, CYLINDERS OR FINS AS CONTACT MAY
CAUSE BURNS.
EXCEPT FOR ADJUSTMENT, DO NOT OPERATE THE ENGINE IF AIR
CLEANER OR COVER DIRECTLY OVER THE CARBURETOR AIR INTAKE IS
REMOVED.
DO NOT RUN THE UNIT IF THE COUPLING GUARD IS REMOVED.
DO NOT TAMPER WITH GOVERNOR SPRINGS, GOVERNOR LINKS OR OTHER
PARTS WHICH MAY INCREASE OR DECREASE THE GOVERNED ENGINE
SPEED.
2.
THE ENGINE SPEED
(RPM) should be checked periodically to insure that it is
operating correctly as engine speed affects the rate of the air flow through the nozzle
system which controls droplet particle size. Should be approximately 2700 RPM @ 8.0
PSI boom pressure.
3.
MACHINE DAMAGE
: Never operate a machine after it has been damaged. A
damaged machine can be very hazardous.
