1.4 Service Safety
A poorly maintained machine can become a safety hazard! In order
for the machine to operate safely and properly over a long period of
time, periodic maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary.
1.4.1 Do not attempt to clean or service the machine while it is running.
Rotating parts can cause severe injury.
1.4.2 DO NOT operate the machine without an air cleaner.
1.4.3 DO NOT remove air cleaner cover, paper element, or precleaner while
engine is running.
1.4.4 DO NOT alter engine speeds. Run the engine only at speeds specified
in the Technical Data Section.
1.4.5 Do not crank a flooded engine with the spark plug removed on
gasoline-powered engines. Fuel trapped in the cylinder will squirt out
the spark plug opening.
1.4.6 Do not test for spark on gasoline-powered engines if the engine is
flooded or the smell of gasoline is present. A stray spark could ignite
the fumes.
1.4.7 Do not use gasoline or other types of fuels or flammable solvents to
clean parts, especially in enclosed areas. Fumes from fuels and
solvents can become explosive.
1.4.8 ALWAYS replace the safety devices and guards after repairs and
maintenance.
1.4.9 Keep the area around the muffler free of debris such as leaves, paper,
cartons, etc. A hot muffler could ignite the debris and start a fire.
1.4.10 ALWAYS do periodic maintenance as recommended in the Operator’s
Manual.
1.4.11 ALWAYS clean debris from engine cooling fins.
1.4.12 Replace worn or damaged components with spare parts designed and
recommended by Wacker Neuson Corporation.
1.4.13 Disconnect the spark plug on machines equipped with gasoline
engines, before servicing, to avoid accidental start-up.
1.4.14 Keep the machine clean and labels legible. Replace all missing and
hard-to-read labels. Labels provide important operating instructions
and warn of dangers and hazards.
