Section 4 Maintenance

Normal maintenance, service, and replacement of parts
are the responsibility of the owner/operator and, as such,
are not considered defects in materials or workmanship
within the terms of the warranty.
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.
WARNING
Accidental Start-up. Disconnect the negative battery
cable, then the positive battery cable when working
on unit. Failure to do so could result in death
or serious injury.
Attach a "DO NOT START" sign to the control panel. This
will notify everyone that the unit is being serviced and will
reduce the chance of someone inadvertently trying to start
the unit.
For detailed engine maintenance procedures, refer to the
engine operator's manual, which was supplied with the unit
when it was shipped from the factory.

completely before using product. Failure to
completely understand manual and product
could result in death or serious injury.

If this unit is used to handle any hazardous materials that
can cause injury or illness, take precautions by wearing
approved protective clothing and use appropriate safety
equipment.

operational or performance problems. Only disassemble
the unit components required to remedy the problem
condition. Select a clean suitable location for any required
maintenance, and note that all work must be performed by
qualified personnel.
