It is a violation of California Public Resource Code, Section 4442, to use or operate the engine on any for-

est-covered, brush-covered or grass-covered land unless the exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrest-

er, as dened in Section 4442, maintained in effective working order. Other states or federal jurisdictions may

have similar laws. Contact an Authorized Service Dealer to obtain a spark arrester designed for the exhaust

system installed on this engine.

• OSHA regulations may require the use of hearing protection when exposed to sound levels greater

than 85 dBA for an 8 hour time period

CAUTION

This machine produces sound levels in excess of 85 dBA at the operator’s ear and can cause hearing loss

though extended periods of exposure. Wear hearing protection when operating this machine.

2.6 CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to

the unit and the operating activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.

• Keep children out of the operating area and under the watchful care of another responsible adult.

• Be alert and turn unit off if children enter the area.

• Before and during reverse operation, look behind and down for small children.

• Never carry children, even with spreader spinner and sprayer pump off. They may fall off and be seri-

ously injured or interfere with safe unit operation. Children who have been given rides in the past may

suddenly appear in the operation area for another ride and be run over or backed over by the machine.

• Never allow children to operate the unit.

• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure

vision.

2. GENERAL OPERATIONAL SAFETY CONTINUED

2.7 SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE

To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely

ammable and the vapors are explosive.

• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition.

• Use only approved gasoline containers.

• Never remove the gas cap or add fuel with the engine running. Allow the engine to cool before

refueling.

• Never ll containers inside a vehicle or on a truck bed with a plastic bed liner. Always place containers

on the ground away from your vehicle before lling.

• Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not

possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a portable container, rather than from a gasoline

dispenser nozzle.

• Keep nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is

complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

• If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.

• Never over-ll the fuel tank. Replace gas cap and tighten securely.

• Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They are ammable and vapors are explosive.

• If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area of spill-

age and avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated.

• Replace all fuel tank caps and fuel container caps securely.
