2.1 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.

2.2 Operating Safety

Familiarity and proper training are required for the safe operation of

machine. Machines operated improperly or by untrained personnel

can be dangerous. Read the operating instructions contained in both

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.

2.2.1 NEVER allow anyone to operate this equipment without proper

training. People operating this equipment must be familiar with the

risks and hazards associated with it.

2.2.2 NEVER touch the engine or muffler while the engine is on or

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

cause burns.

2.2.3 NEVER use accessories or attachments that are not recommended by

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

2.2.4 NEVER operate the machine with the beltguard missing. Exposed

drive belt and pulleys create potentially dangerous hazards that can

cause serious injuries.

2.2.5 NEVER leave machine running unattended.

2.2.6 ALWAYS be sure operator is familiar with proper safety precautions

and operation techniques before using machine.

2.2.7 ALWAYS wear protective clothing appropriate to the job site when

2.3 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 guidelines could result in severe injury or death.

2.3.1 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.

2.3.2 DO NOT smoke while operating the machine.

2.3.3 DO NOT smoke when refueling the engine.

2.3.4 DO NOT refuel a hot or running engine.

2.3.5 DO NOT refuel the engine near an open flame.

2.3.6 DO NOT spill fuel when refueling the engine.

2.3.7 DO NOT run the engine near open flames.

2.3.8 ALWAYS refill the fuel tank in a well-ventilated area.

2.3.9 ALWAYS replace the fuel tank cap after refueling.

2.3.10 ALWAYS check the fuel lines and the fuel tank for leaks and cracks

2.4 Service Safety

Poorly maintained machines 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.

2.4.1 DO NOT attempt to clean or service the machine while it is running.

Rotating parts can cause severe injury.

2.4.2 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.

2.4.3 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.

2.4.4 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.

2.4.5 ALWAYS 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.

2.4.6 ALWAYS replace worn or damaged components with spare parts

designed and recommended by Wacker Corporation.

2.4.7 ALWAYS disconnect the spark plug on machines equipped with

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

2.4.8 ALWAYS 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.
