6.4.1 Engine Operation Safety
WARNING!
Do not operate the engine indoors. Park the
machine outdoors in a position where the
prevailing winds blow the exhaust away from
you.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO)
that can quickly accumulate to a dangerous
level. Carbon monoxide can cause illness,
unconsciousness, or death.
W072
WARNING!
Keep the end of a disconnected battery cable
away from the battery. Electricity can arc from
the battery to the end of a battery cable and
cause the battery to explode. An explosion can
cause serious injury or death from heat, impact,
and chemical hazards.
W115
CAUTION!
Use a spark arrestor in areas where the forest,
brush, or grass is dry to prevent forest fi res.
Check your local forest fi re regulations and
forest fi re danger rating before you start the
machine.
W114
IMPORTANT! In some regions, when an engine is used
on any forest covered, brush covered, or grass covered
unimproved land it is necessary by law to have a spark
arrestor installed on the muffler. A spark arrestor traps
exhaust particles that are expelled from the engine. It is
the responsibility of the operator to comply with the local
laws and regulations. To purchase a spark arrestor, contact
your local Wallenstein dealer or distributor.
•
Keep the cylinder fins and engine shrouds free of debris to
prevent the engine from overheating.
•
Keep the engine free of wood chips and other debris that
can affect the engine speed.
•
Use fresh fuel (less than three months old). Stale fuel
creates deposits that cause the carburetor to be blocked
and leak.
•
Check the fuel lines and fittings on a regular basis for
cracks or leaks. Replace damaged fuel lines or fittings if
necessary.
•
Store fuel away from all wood material.
•
Only operate the engine in a location that has good air
flow. Engine exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide (an
odorless gas) that can cause asphyxiation.
•
Do not put your hands or feet near moving parts.
•
Do not tamper with governor springs, governor links or
other parts that may increase the governed speed. Engine
speed is selected by the original equipment manufacturer.
•
Do not check for a spark with the spark plug or spark plug
wire removed.
•
Do not attempt to start the engine with the spark plug
removed. If the engine floods, set the throttle control to
Fast
, and then try to start the engine again.
•
Do not hit the flywheel with a hard object or metal tool. This
can cause the flywheel to shatter during operation. Use the
correct tools to service the engine.
•
Do not touch a hot muffler, cylinder, or fins. Contact can
cause burns. Wait for the machine to cool. Use a no-touch
thermometer to measure the temperature.
•
Do not operate the engine in the following situations:
• When there is an accumulation of wood chips, dirt, or
other combustible materials in the muffler area.
• In an area where there is a fuel spill. Move the machine
away from the spill until the fuel evaporates. Make sure
that are no sources of ignition in the area of the fuel
spill.
• With the air filter or air filter cover removed. This can
damage the engine.
• Without a muffler or heat shield. Examine the muffler
and heat shield on a regular basis. Replace a muffler or
heat shield that is damaged.
