BEWARE OF EXHAUST FUMES
Prevent asphyxiation. Engine exhaust fumes
can cause sickness or death.
If you must operate in a building, be positive
there is adequate ventilation. Either use an
exhaust pipe extension to remove the exhaust
fumes or open doors and windows to bring
enough outside air into the area.
REMOVE PAINT BEFORE WELDING OR
HEATING
Avoid potentially toxic fumes and dust.
Hazardous fumes can be generated when paint
is heated by welding, soldering, or using a torch.
Do all work outside or in a well ventilated area.

minutes. Get medical attention immediate-
ly. 13031GE22
If acid is swallowed:
1. Drink large amounts of water or milk.
2. Then drink milk of magnesia, beaten eggs,
or vegetable oil.
3. Get medical attention immediately.
USE TOOLS PROPERLY

Use tools appropriate to the work. Makeshift
tools, parts, and procedures can create safety
hazards.
Use power tools only to loosen threaded tools
and fasteners.
For loosening and tightening hardware, use the
correct size tools. DO NOT use U.S.
measurement tools on metric fasteners. Avoid
bodily injury caused by slipping wrenches. 13031GE23
Use only recommended replacement parts.

(See Parts catalogue.)
1-8
DISPOSE OF FLUIDS PROPERLY
Improperly disposing of fluids can harm the
environment and ecology. Before draining any
fluids, find out the proper way to dispose of
waste from your local environmental agency.
Use proper containers when draining fluids. Do
not use food or beverage containers that may
mislead someone into drinking from them.
DO NOT pour oil into the ground, down a drain,
or into a stream, pond, or lake. Observe 13031GE24
relevant environmental protection regulations
when disposing of oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid,
filters, batteries, and other harmful waste.
REPLACE SAFETY SIGNS

Replace missing or damaged safety signs.
See the machine operator's manual for correct
safety sign placement.
