MT55-F — RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
NEVER use accessories or attachments, which are not
recommended by Multiquip for this equipment. Damage to
the equipment and/or injury to user may result.
NEVER touch the hot exhaust
manifold, muffler or cylinder. Allow
these parts to cool before servicing
engine or rammer.
High Temperatures – Allow the engine to cool before adding
fuel or performing service and maintenance functions. Contact
with hot components can cause serious burns.
The engine section of this rammer requires an adequate free
flow of cooling air. NEVER
operate the rammer in any
enclosed or narrow area
where free flow of the air is
restricted. If the air flow is
restricted it will cause
serious damage to the
rammer or engine and
may cause injury to
people. Remember the
rammer's engine gives off
DEADLY carbon monoxide gas.
ALWAYS refuel in a well-ventilated area, away from sparks
and open flames.
ALWAYS use extreme caution when working with flammable
liquids. When refueling, stop the engine and allow it to cool.
DO NOT smoke around or near the machine. Fire or explosion
could result from fuel vapors, or if fuel is spilled on a hot
engine.
NEVER operate the rammer in an explosive atmosphere or
near combustible materials. An explosion or fire could result
causing severe bodily harm or even death.
Topping-off to filler port is dangerous, as it tends to spill fuel.
