Inspect Your Machine - Hyundai HYT150 Instruction Manual

General Safety
• Always keep hands and feet away from all
pinch points.
• Do not touch parts that might be hot
from operation. Allow parts to cool before
attempting to maintain, adjust, or service.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better
control of the machine in unexpected
situations. Extending your body too far can
result in a loss of balance and you may fall
which will result in injury.
• Never place any part of your body where it
would be in danger if movement should occur
during assembly, installation, and operation,
maintenance, repairing or moving.
• Start the engine carefully according to
instructions and with feet away from the
moving parts.
• Do not place your hands or feet near or
under rotating parts. Keep away from any
discharge openings.
• Keep in mind that the operator or user is
responsible for accidents, hazards or
unexpected events involving the machine that
occur to other people or their property. It is
the responsibilty of the user to assess the
potential risk of the area where work is being
carried out. The operator or user must take
all necessary precautions to ensure their own
safety and that of others, especially on slopes
or rough, slippery and unstable ground.

Inspect Your Machine

!
• Check your machine before starting it. Keep
guards in place and in working order. Make
sure all nuts, bolts, etc., are securely
tightened.
• You must check the general condition of the
machine before use.
• Be sure the safety covers are in place.
• Never operate the machine when it is in
need of repair or is in poor mechanical
condition. Replace damaged, missing, or
failed parts before using it. Check for fuel
leaks. Keep the machine in safe working
condition.
• Do not use the machine if the engine's
switch does not turn off the engine when
running. Any petrol powered machine that
can't be controlled with the engine switch is
dangerous and must be replaced.
• Regularly check to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the
machine area before starting it. A wrench or
a key that is left attached to a rotating part of
the machine may result in personal injury.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the
engine's switch is off before transporting the
machine or performing any maintenance or
service on the unit. Transporting or performing
maintenance or service on a machine with its
switch on invites accidents.
• If the machine should start to vibrate
abnormally, stop the engine and check
immediately for the cause. Vibration is
generally a warning sign of trouble.
• Do not tamper with or disable safety
systems.
• Only use manufacturer-recommended
attachments.
• Before using, always visually inspect to see
that the tools are not worn out or damaged.
Replace worn out or damaged elements and
bolts in set to preserve balance.
• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to
ensure the equipment is in safe working
condition.
• Be sure all safety devices are in working
order and warning labels are in place. These
items are installed for your safety.
