Diesel Engine Exhaust

WARNING

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING

Diesel engine exhaust and some of its
constituents are known to the State of California
to cause cancer, birth defects, and other
reproductive harm.

WARNING

Engine exhaust fumes can cause sickness or
death. If it is necessary to run an engine in an
enclosed area, use an exhaust pipe extension to
vent the exhaust to the outdoors. If an exhaust
pipe extension is not available, open doors and
use fans to supply fresh air to the area.

Machine Decals

All safety and warning decals must be in place,
undamaged, and visible. Become familiar with the
location and content of all decals on the machine. Walk
around the machine and review each of them. Decals
provide important instructions and warnings and must be
read and understood prior to any operational or
maintenance function.
Contact a SANY dealer for replacement decals if needed.

NOTE:

When replacing decals, make sure they are
placed in the proper locations. Contact a SANY
dealer if you have any questions about their
meaning and placement.
