Never make any modifications that could affect correct operation of the control systems.
  • Page 7 • Using and handling fuel and oil It is essential to stop the engine and set the control to the stop position before carrying out any work involving fuel (filling up, checking the level, draining, etc.). Always keep suitable extinguishers ready for use in all areas where fuel is handled (storage, filling up, etc.). Always store fuel and oil in separate cans specially designed for the purpose and bearing the labels required by regulations.
  • Page 8 • Tools to be used on the machine Use only the types of tools intended for normal use of the machine. Measure the speed of all rotating tools at regular intervals. Never use tools at speeds greater than the maximum speed for which they have been designed and approved. Never use damaged tools or tools that have reached their maximum level of wear.
