MAINTENANCE SAFETY

In general

• Maintain machine according to manufacturer’s schedule and instructions for maximum safety and best results.
• Park machine on level ground.
• Never allow untrained personnel to service machine.
• Guards should only be removed by qualified maintenance technician for maintenance/service. Replace when work is complete.
• Adjust or repair only after the engine has been stopped and the tines have stopped moving.
• Disconnect spark plug wire(s) before doing any maintenance.
• Replace parts if worn, damaged or faulty. For best results, always replace with parts recommended by the manufacturer.
• Do not dismantle the machine without releasing or restraining forces which may cause parts to move suddenly.
• Provide adequate support, e.g. jack stands for lifted machine or parts if working beneath.
• Do not put hands or feet near or under  rotating parts.
• Clean up spilled oil or fuel thoroughly.
• Replace faulty mufflers.
• To reduce fire hazards, keep the engine, muffler, and fuel storage area free of grass, leaves, debris buildup or grease.

Tines
The tines are sharp and can cut. Use extra caution when handling. Remove obstructions with care. Wrap the tines or wear gloves.
WARNING

• Only replace tines. Never straighten or weld.
• Keep other persons away from tines

**Fuel
WARNING

**

• Petrol (gasoline) and diesel fuels are flammable; petrol (gasoline) vapors are explosive. Use extra care when handling.
• Store only in containers specifically designed for fuel.
• When refueling or checking fuel level:
• Stop the engine and allow to cool;
• Do not smoke;
• Refuel outdoors only;
• Use a funnel;
• Do not overfill;
• If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine until the spill is cleaned up and vapors have cleared.
• Replace caps on fuel containers and tanks securely.

Sparks from static electricity can start fires or cause explosions. Flowing fuel can generate static electricity. To prevent static electricity sparks:

• Keep fuel containers electrically grounded. Do not fill containers in a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Fill containers on the ground away from the vehicle.
• When practical, remove petrol (gas) powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If equipment must be refueled on the truck or trailer, refuel from a portable container rather than a dispenser nozzle.
• Keep the dispenser nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device

Storage Safety

• Stop the engine and allow to cool before storing.
• Drain the fuel tank outdoors only.
• Store fuel in an approved container in a cool, dry place.
• Keep the machine and fuel containers in a locked storage place to prevent tampering and to keep children from playing with them.
• Do not store the machine or fuel container near heating appliances with an open flame, such as a water heater, or an appliance with a pilot light.
• Keep gasoline (petrol) storage area free of grass, leaves and excessive grease to reduce fire hazard.
• Clean grass and debris from tines, drives, mufflers and engine to help prevent fires.
