1.9 Engine Safety

WARNING
Do NOT use aerosol types of starting aids such as ether. Such use could result in an explosion and
personal injury.
CAUTION
• In the initial start-up of a new, serviced, or repaired engine, always make provision to shut the engine off
in order to stop an over-speed. This may be accomplished by shutting off the air and/or fuel supply to the
engine. Over-speed shut down should occur automatically for engines that are controlled electronically.
• Do NOT bypass or disable the automatic shutoff circuits. The circuits are provided in order to help
prevent personal injury. The circuits are also provided in order to help prevent engine damage. Refer
to your MacDon Dealer for repairs and adjustments.
• Inspect the engine for potential hazards.
• Before starting the engine, ensure that no one is on, underneath, or close to the engine. Ensure that
people clear the area.
• All protective guards and all protective covers must be installed if the engine must be started in order
to perform service procedures.
• To help prevent an accident that is caused by parts in rotation, work around the parts carefully.
• If a warning tag is attached to the engine start switch or to the controls, do NOT start the engine or move
the controls. Consult with the person who attached the warning tag before the engine is started.
• Start the engine from the operator's compartment. Always start the engine according to the procedure
that is described in the Starting the Engine section of the operator's manual. Knowing the correct
procedure will help to prevent major damage to the engine components and prevent personal injury.
• To ensure that the jacket water heater (if equipped) and/or the lube oil heater (if equipped) is working
correctly, check the water temperature gauge and/or the oil temperature gauge during the heater
operation. Engine exhaust contains products of combustion which can be harmful to your health.
Always start the engine and operate the engine in a well ventilated area. If the engine is started in an
enclosed area, vent the engine exhaust to the outside.
NOTE:
The engine may be equipped with a device for cold starting. If the engine will be operated in very cold conditions,
then an additional cold starting aid may be required. Normally, the engine will be equipped with the correct type of
starting aid for your region of operation.
