rotating parts, serious injury will result.
Lockout and Tagout

tion and maintenance. Lockout and tagout are effec-
tive methods of cutting off machines and equipment
from energy sources. To accomplish the lockout/
tagout, remove the starter switch key, set the battery
switch to OFF position and attach a DO NOT RUN or
equivalent caution tag to the starter switch. The starter
switch key must be kept by the person who performs
inspection and maintenance work.

and maintenance work.Make sure to pull back the
turning gear to the engine running position before

ing tool inserted or turning condition, it can not only
cause a damage to the engine, but also lead to a per-
sonal injury.
