Muffler
The muffler keeps the noise levels to a minimum and
sends the exhaust fumes away from the operator.
Do not use the product if the muffler is missing or
defective. A defective muffler increases the noise level
and the risk of fire.
WARNING: The muffler becomes very hot
during and after use and when the engine
operates at idle speed. Be careful near
flammable materials and/or fumes to prevent
fire.
To do a check of the muffler
• Examine the muffler regularly to make sure that it is
attached correctly and not damaged.
Protective covers
Missing or damaged protective covers increase the risk
of injury on moving parts and hot surfaces. Do a check
of the protective covers before you operate the product.
Make sure that the protective covers are correctly
attached and do not have cracks or other damages.
Replace damaged covers.
