OM 28Z3 US – Edition 2.0 * 28Z3b210.fm
• When handling oil, grease, and other chemical substances such as battery electrolyte
or hydraulic fluid, observe the product-related safety regulations (Material Safety Data
Sheet (MSDS).
• Operate the machine only on adequately ventilated premises! Before starting internal
combustion engines or operating fuel-operated heating systems on enclosed premises,
make sure there is sufficient ventilation!
• Observe the regulations in force at the respective site!
• Perform welding, flame-cutting and grinding work on the machine only if this has been
expressly authorized. There can be a risk of explosion and fire, for example!
• Before performing welding, flame-cutting and grinding work, clean the machine and its
surroundings from dust and other flammable substances, and make sure the premises
are adequately ventilated – danger of explosions!
Warning!
Internal combustion engines present special hazards during operation and
fueling. Failure to follow the warnings and safety guidelines could result in
severe injury or death.
☞
Read and follow the warning instructions in the engine owner's manual and
the safety guidelines below.
When running the engine:
• Keep the area around muffler pipe free of flammable materials.
• Check the fuel lines and the fuel tank for leaks and cracks before starting the engine.
Do not run the machine if fuel leaks are present or the fuel lines are loose.
When running the engine:
• Engine exhaust CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide. This is a poison you cannot see or smell. Never run the machine indoors or
in an enclosed area such as a deep trench unless adequate ventilation, through such
items as muffler fans or hoses, is provided.
• Do not smoke while operating the machine.
• Do not run the engine near open flames.
• Do not touch the engine or muffler while the engine is running or immediately after it
has been turned off.
• Do not operate a machine when its fuel cap is loose or missing.
• Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is running or hot. The radiator fluid is
hot and under pressure, and may cause severe burns!
When fueling the engine:
• Clean up any spilled fuel immediately.
• Refill the fuel tank in a well-ventilated area.
• Replace the fuel tank cap after refueling.
When fueling the engine:
• Do not smoke.
• Do not refuel a hot or running engine.
• Do not refuel the engine near an open flame.
