and open flames.
■ ALWAYS use extreme caution when working with flammable
liquids. When refueling, stop the engine and allow it to cool.
DO NOT smoke around or near the machine. Fire or
explosion could result from fuel vapors, or if fuel is spilled on
a hot engine.
■ NEVER operate the vibratory roller in an explosive
atmosphere or near combustible
materials. An explosion or fire could
result causing severe
bodily harm or
even death.
■ Topping-off to filler port is dangerous, as
it tends to spill fuel.

■ DO NOT leave vibratory roller with engine running. Use
chock blocks if parking vibratory roller on a grade.
■ NEVER touch the hot exhaust manifold,
muffler or cylinder. Allow these parts to
cool before servicing engine or vibratory
roller.
■ The engine of this vibratory roller requires an adequate free
flow of cooling air. NEVER operate the vibratory roller in any
enclosed or narrow area where free flow of the air is restricted.
If the air flow is restricted it will
cause serious damage to the
vibratory roller or engine and
