fill the tank right to the top but leave an adequate space for
the fuel to expand.
• To start the engine follow the specific instructions provided
in the engine and/or machine operating manual. Do not
use auxiliary starting devices not originally installed on the
machine (e.g. Startpilot).
• Before starting, remove any tools that were used to service
the engine and/or machine. Make sure that all guards have
been refitted.
• Do not mix fuel with elements such as oil or kerosene. Failure
to comply with this prohibition will cause the non-operation of
the catalyst and non-observance of the emissions declared
by Valdinoci Luigi S.p.A.
• Pay attention to the temperature of the oil filter when the filter
itself is replaced.
• Only check, top up and change the coolant fluid when the
engine is off and reached the ambient temperature. Coolant
fluid is polluting, it must therefore be disposed of in the correct
way.
• Do not use jets of air and water at high pressure on the cables,
connectors and electronic injectors.
• Accidental Starts can cause severe injury or death. Before
working on the engine or equipment, disconnect the battery
negative (-) wire.
• Hot Parts can cause severe burns. Engine components can
get extremely hot from operation. Do not touch engine while
operating or just after stopping. Never operate the engine with
heat shields or guards removed.
• Rotating Parts can cause severe injury. Stay away while
engine is in operation. Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing
away from all moving parts to prevent injury. Never operate
the engine with covers, shrouds, or guards removed.

SAFETY INFORMATION
• Carbon Monoxide can cause severe nausea, fainting or death.
Avoid inhaling exhaust fumes and never run the engine in a
closed building or confined area. Carbon monoxide is toxic,
odorless, colorless, and can cause death if inhaled.
• High Pressure Fluids can puncture skin and cause severe
injury or death. Work on the injection system must be carried
out by suitably trained staff wearing protection equipment.
Injuries caused by fluid penetration are highly toxic and
dangerous. If an injury occurs, seek immediate medical
attention.
• Explosive fuel can cause fires and severe burns. Fuel is
flammable and its vapours can ignite. Store fuel only in
approved containers, in well ventilated, unoccupied buildings.
Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is hot or running, since
spilled fuel could ignite if it comes in contact with hot parts or
sparks from ignition. Do not start the engine near spilled fuel.
Never use fuel as a cleaning agent.
• Explosive Gas can cause fires and severe acid burns.
Charge battery only in a well ventilated area. Keep sparks,
open flames, and other sources of ignition away from the
battery at all times. Batteries produce explosive hydrogen
gas while being charged. Keep batteries out of the reach of
children. Remove all jewelry when servicing batteries. Before
disconnecting the negative (-) ground cable, make sure all
switches are OFF. If ON, a spark could occur at the ground
cable terminal which could cause an explosion.
• Electrical Shock can cause injury. Do not touch wires while
engine is running.
• Engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known
to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or
other reproductive harm.
Hereunder is a list of safety warnings that may be found in
the manual, which advise you to pay attention when carrying
out particular procedures that may be potentially dangerous
to the operator or things.
