for the engine and water pump while operating. NEVER spray water directly
on the unit.
2. Do not use unit in an area:
a. with insufficient ventilation.
b. where there is evidence of oil or gas leaks.
c. where flammable gas vapors may be present.
This unit has multiple ignition sources that could cause an explosion or
fire.
3. Be certain to block the wheels to prevent the unit from moving while
operating.
4. Do not allow the unit to be exposed to rain, snow or freezing temperatures.
If any part of the unit becomes frozen, excessive pressure may build up in
the unit which could cause it to burst resulting in possible serious injury to
the operator or bystanders.
5. Pump oil level should be checked before each use. Check the oil level
indicator on the pump crankcase. Make certain the oil is in the center of the
oil sight glass. If the level appears to be low, fill with John Deere pump oil
SAE 20 or 30.
