●
When refueling, do not fill the fuel tank over the
maximum level. If you do overfill the fuel tank, remove
fuel until it sits below the maximum level. Over-fueling can
cause fire and other accidents.
●
After refueling, tightly close the fuel tank cap, make sure there is no leakage of gas
and make sure there is no open flame in the operating area, as this could start a fire.
●
If gasoline is spilled, move the machine a safe distance away without starting the engine. Starting
the machine in close proximity to spilled fuel could result in a fire or other accidents. Use a cloth
to wipe away the spilled gasoline and dispose of any such cloth in a suitable manner.
●
Be sure to change your clothes immediately if they come into contact with gasoline. There is a
danger that any gasoline on your clothes could ignite or cause you to feel unwell.
●
Do not refuel in places such as inside a car or on a truck, as they could move unexpectedly.
Refuel after placing your fuel container safely on the ground, away from vehicles. Spilt fuel can
cause fire and other accidents.
●
Please do not refuel while the machine is on a vehicle or trailer, as this could cause fire or
accident
●
Do not remove the refueling nozzle from the fuel tank until you have finished refueling. Spilt fuel
can cause fire and other accidents.
■
Caution when starting the engine
●
Please do not modify the engine, as this could cause fires, malfunctions or other
accidents. Orec assumes no liability for accidents or injuries resulting from modification or
addition to the machine. Any additions or modifications will also void warranty claims.
●
Do not try to alter the position of the engine governor or change the set rotation speeds.
●
Do not run the engine in a place that is poorly ventilated. Engine exhaust gas is odorless and
contains carbon monoxide which can cause death or serious illness.
●
Do not allow highly flammable substances near the engine or the path of the exhaust as this can
cause a fire.
●
When starting the engine please ensure that the blade clutch is disengaged and the
V-Belt has stopped. If the belt is moving even a little, stop the engine immediately,
disconnect the spark plug wire and adjust the belt wire.
Belt movement while starting the engine could lead to an accident or injury.
●
Do not touch the engine or muffler as they become extremely hot during operation and can cause
severe burns.
●
Ensure that no material builds up in the engine or muffler as this can result in a fire.
●
Ensure that the drive clutch and blade clutch are in the [OFF] position, the speed change lever is
in the [N] position, and the brake is ON, before starting the engine. Not taking precautions when
starting the engine can cause injury and accidents.
■
Caution when loading and unloading
●
When loading or unloading using a truck, proceed carefully and be certain to park on a flat and
safe surface. A truck moving suddenly could cause injury and accidents.
●
Attach a gently sloping ramp securely to the truck’s loading platform and reduce engine power
to low. The speed change lever should be put in the forward [1] position for loading, and in the
reverse [R] position for unloading. Proceed with caution as injury and accidents can be caused
by the machine tipping over or running out of control.
