1.4 Service Safety
Poorly maintained equipment can become a safety hazard! In order for the equipment to operate safely and
properly over a long period of time, periodic maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary.
Warning
DO NOT
attempt to clean or service machine while it is running. Rotating parts can cause servere
injury.
DO NOT crank a fowled engine with the spark plug removed on gasoline-powered engines. Fuel
trapped in the cylinder will squirt out of the spark plug hole.
DO NOT test for spark on gasoline-powered engines if engine is fl ooded or the smell of gasoline is
present. A stray spark could ignite fumes.
DO NOT
use gasoline or other types of fuels or fl ammable solvents to clean parts, especially in en-
closed areas. Fumes from fuels and solvents can become explosive.
ALWAYS operate machine with all safety devices and guards in place and in working order.
ALWAYS
keep area around muffl er free of debris such as leaves, paper, cartons, etc. A hot muffl er
could ignite them, starting a fi re.
ALWAYS replace worn or damaged components with spare parts designed and recommended by
EDCO Engineering.
