Special Instructions

The fuel used in the rider has the following hazardous properties:
• The fluid and its vapour are poisonous.
• Can cause eye and skin irritation.
• Can cause breathing problems.
• Is environmentally hazardous. One litre of diesel fuel can destroy up to 1 million litres of drinking water.
Diesel is less flammable than petrol at normal temperatures, but becomes very combustible if heated to the
flash point. This varies depending on the type of diesel but is normally higher than +50ºC (120ºF).
When using compressed air, do not direct the jet towards the body. Air can penetrate into the blood circula-
tion system, which entails mortal danger.
Use eye protection when working with tensioned springs.
Use hearing protection when test running.
Remember diesel exhaust fumes are carcinogenic.
After test running, do not touch the muffler until it has cooled. Risk of burns. Use protective gloves when
working with the muffler.
The blades are sharp and can cause cuts and gashes. Use protective gloves when handling the blades.
