Service Safety

Poorly maintained equipment can become a safety hazard! In order for the equipment to operate safely and properly over
a long period of time, periodic maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary.
DO NOT attempt to clean or service machine
while it is running. Rotating parts can cause
severe injury.
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.
DO NOT test for spark on gasoline-powered en-
gines, if engine is flooded or the smell of gasoline
is present. A stray spark could ignite fumes.
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.

WACKER.
ALWAYS disconnect spark plug on machines
equipped with gasoline engines, before servicing, to
avoid accidental start-up.
