1.1 Laws Pertaining to Spark Arresters

Notice: State Health Safety Codes and Public Resources Codes

specify that in certain locations spark arresters be used on internal

combustion engines that use hydrocarbon fuels. A spark arrester is a

device designed to prevent accidental discharge of sparks or flames

from the engine exhaust. Spark arresters are qualified and rated by

the United States Forest Service for this purpose.

In order to comply with local laws regarding spark arresters, consult

the engine distributor or the local Health and Safety Administrator.

1.2 Operating Safety

Familiarity and proper training are required for the safe operation of the

machine. Machines operated improperly or by untrained personnel

can be hazardous. Read the operating instructions contained in this

manual and the engine manual, and familiarize yourself with the

location and proper use of all controls. Inexperienced operators should

receive instruction from someone familiar with the machine before

being allowed to operate it.

1.2.1 Do not allow anyone to operate this equipment without proper training.

People operating this equipment must be familiar with the risks and

hazards associated with it.

immediately after it has been turned off. These areas get hot and may

cause burns.

1.2.3 Do not use accessories or attachments that are not recommended by

Wacker Neuson. Damage to equipment and injury to the user may

result.

1.2.4 NEVER operate the machine with the beltguard missing. Exposed

1.3 Operator Safety while using Internal Combustion Engines

Internal combustion engines present special hazards during operation

and fueling. Read and follow the warning instructions in the engine

owner’s manual and the safety guidelines below. Failure to follow the

warnings and safety standards could result in severe injury or death.

1.3.1 DO NOT run the machine indoors or in an enclosed area such as a

deep trench unless adequate ventilation, through such items as

exhaust fans or hoses, is provided. Exhaust gas from the engine

contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas; exposure to carbon

monoxide can cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death.

1.3.2 Do not smoke while operating the machine.

1.3.3 Do not smoke when refueling the engine.

1.3.4 Do not refuel a hot or running engine.

1.3.5 Do not refuel the engine near an open flame.

1.3.6 Do not spill fuel when refueling the engine.

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 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.

1.4.3 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.

1.4.4 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.

1.4.5 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.

1.4.6 Replace worn or damaged components with spare parts designed and

recommended by Wacker Neuson Corporation.

1.4.7 Disconnect the spark plug on machines equipped with gasoline

engines, before servicing, to avoid accidental start-up.

1.4.8 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.
