High Temperatures – Always stop engine and allow the

engine to cool before adding fuel, oil or performing service
and maintenance functions. Contact with

hot

components can

cause serious burns.

NEVER disconnect any "emergency or safety devices".

These devices are intended for operator safety. Disconnection
of these devices can cause severe injury, bodily harm or even
death! Disconnection of any of these devices will void all
warranties.

Maintenance Safety

machine.

ALWAYS allow the machine a proper amount of time to cool

before servicing.

hazardous waste are used motor oil, fuel and fuel filters.

hazardous waste.

DO NOT pour waste, oil or fuel directly onto the ground,

down a drain or into any water source.
