WARNING!
Improper practices, carelessness,
or ignoring any warnings may cause
death, personal injury, equipment or
property damage.
Before performing any repair, read and
understand all of the safety precautions
and warnings. The following is a list of
general safety precautions that must
be followed to provide personal safety.
Failure to follow these instructions
may cause death or injury. Special

ventilated, free from clutter, loose
tools, parts, ignition sources and
hazardous substances.

protective shoes when working.

Put a "DO NOT OPERATE" tag in
the operator's compartment or on
the controls.
•
Allow the engine to cool before
slowly loosening the coolant filler
