conditions it can cause personal injury or damage to property. To avoid runaway speed
conditions we recommend the following:
- do not exceed the MAX level on the engine oil dipstick
- do not exceed the MAX oil level in the air filter cup
- set the engine in the horizontal position
- do not modify the factory adjustments
- do not tamper with the injection system
14 Lifting the machine
Use the lifting lugs on the base; the eyebolts on the engine are sized for handling the
engine itself only, therefore they cannot be used to lift the complete machine. Use good
quality sturdy hooks and/or ropes to avoid causing personal injuries and/or damage to
property. The engine and/or machine must be securely harnessed so as to guarantee
proper weight balance during the lifting and handling operations.
15 Batteries
The starting batteries may generate harmful fumes; provide for suitable ventilation of the
environment, avoid any contact with the electrolyte fluid; contact of the electrolyte with
certain metal surfaces (e.g. aluminium) can generate toxic gases. The batteries contain
sulphuric acid (corrosive) and release an explosive gas, especially while recharging. It is
therefore indispensable to ventilate the room and not smoke or use naked flames near
the batteries. Keep the batteries out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources.
Observe the provisions of law governing safety in the workplace; in particular, use rubber
gloves that are resistant to sulphuric acid (PVC), protective goggles (mask or visor), acid-
proof clothing, rubber safety boots, avoid generating any sparks, do not bend over the
batteries.
To disconnect the battery start from the negative ground terminal.
16 Protect the environment
Do not burn mineral oils or fuels; these materials, together with filters, gaskets and
batteries must be delivered to the appropriate waste collection centers.
