Check the Cooling System
When checking the cooling system, make sure the
engine is turned off and is cool. Remove the key to
prevent fans from unexpectedly starting. Ensure the
coolers and engine compartment are clean and free
from debris, which could ignite and cause a re.
If the machine is air-cooled, be sure the cooling unit
has an unobstructed air ow. If it is liquid-cooled, check
coolant level (at overow tank, if provided).
WARNING! Allow the radiator to cool before
checking the level. Hot radiator uids could escape as
steam and burn you. (See page 27, Engine Coolant
Hazards.)
Use Caution When Fueling
WARNING! Avoid injury from re or explosion.
Never fill the fuel tank with the engine running, while
smoking or when near an open flame.
Never overll the tank or spill fuel. If fuel is spilled, clean
it up immediately.
Be sure to use the correct type and grade of fuel.
Ground the fuel funnel or nozzle against the ller neck to
prevent sparks that could ignite fuel vapors. Be sure to
replace the fuel ll cap (if equipped) when you are done.
No smoking and
no open flames in

Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD)
Fuel Hazard
Avoid Static Electricity Risk When Fueling
WARNING! Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) poses a
greater static ignition hazard than earlier diesel
formulations. Avoid death or serious injury from re or
explosion; consult with your fuel or fuel system
supplier to ensure the delivery system is in
compliance with fueling standards for proper
grounding and bonding practices.
Follow Safe Operating Practices
Exhaust Fumes in a Closed Space Can Kill
Vent exhaust and assure a ow of fresh air when an
internal combustion engine is used in a closed space.
WARNING! Exhaust fumes from diesel, gasoline or
LP gas engines can kill. Do not breath exhaust fumes
from any kind of engine.
Operating in Flammable/Explosive Atmospheres
WARNING! A trowel must not be operated in
flammable or explosive atmospheres. Use in
explosive atmospheres can result in res and/or
explosions which could cause serious injury or death.
