2.
Before applying pressure to the
system, make sure all components
are tight, and that lines, hoses and
couplings are not damaged.
3.
Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the
hydraulic lines, fittings or hoses by using tapes,
clamps or cements. The hydraulic system operates
under extremely high pressure. Such repairs can
fail suddenly and create a hazardous and unsafe
condition.
4.
Wear proper hand and eye
protection when searching for a
high-pressure hydraulic leak. Use
a piece of wood or cardboard as
a backstop instead of hands to
isolate and identify a leak.
5.
If injured by a concentrated high-pressure stream of
hydraulic fluid, seek medical attention immediately.
Serious infection or toxic reaction can develop from
hydraulic fluid piercing the skin surface.
6.
Relieve pressure in the hydraulic system before
working on it.

1. DO NOT
operate engine in an enclosed area.
Exhaust gases contain odorless and deadly carbon
monoxide that can cause death by asphyxiation.
2. DO NOT
place hands or feet near moving or rotating
parts.
3. DO NOT
store, spill, or use gasoline near an open
flame, or devices such as a stove, furnace, or water
heater which use a pilot light or devices which can
create a spark.
4. DO NOT
refuel indoors where area is not well
ventilated.
5. DO NOT
refuel while engine is running. Allow engine
to cool for five minutes before refueling. Store fuel in
approved safety containers.
6. DO NOT
remove fuel tank cap while engine is
running.
7. DO NOT
operate engine if gasoline is spilled. Move
machine away from the spill and avoid engine ignition
until gasoline has evaporated.
8. DO NOT
smoke while filling fuel tank.
9. DO NOT
choke carburetor to stop engine. Whenever
possible, gradually reduce engine speed before
stopping.
10. DO NOT
run engine above rated speeds. This may
result in injury.
11. DO NOT
tamper with governor springs, governor
links or other parts which may increase the governed
speed.
12. DO NOT
tamper with the engine as set by the original
equipment manufacturer.
13. DO NOT
check for spark with spark plug or spark
plug wire removed.
14. DO NOT
crank engine with spark plug removed. If
engine is flooded, crank until engine starts.
15. DO NOT
strike flywheel with a hard object or
metal tool as this may cause flywheel to shatter in
operation. Use proper tools to service engine.
16. DO NOT
operate engine without a muffler. Inspect
periodically and replace, if necessary.
17. DO NOT
operate engine with an accumulation of
grass, leaves, dirt or other combustible materials in
the muffler area.
18. DO NOT
use this engine on any forest covered, brush
covered, or grass covered unimproved land unless a
spark arrester is installed on the muffler. The arrester
must be maintained in effective working order by
the operator. In the state of California, the above is
required by law (Section 4442 of the California Public
Resources Code). Other states may have similar
laws. Federal laws apply on federal land.
19. DO NOT
touch hot muffler, engine body or cooling
fins. Contact may cause burns.
20. DO NOT
run engine with air cleaner or air cleaner
cover removed.
Be sure to:
1.
Remove the wire from the spark plug when servicing
the engine or equipment to prevent accidental
starting. Disconnect the (-) ground wire from the
battery terminal.
2.
Keep engine cooling fins and governor parts free of
grass and other debris that can affect engine speed.
3.
Examine muffler periodically to be sure it is
functioning effectively. A worn or leaking muffler
should be repaired or replaced as necessary.
4.
Use fresh gasoline. Old fuel can clog carburetor and
cause leakage.
5.
Check fuel lines and fittings frequently for cracks or
leaks. Replace if necessary.
