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

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.
1.3.7 Do not run the engine near open flames.
1.3.8 Refill the fuel tank in a well-ventilated area.
1.3.9 Replace the fuel tank cap after refueling.

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.
