WARNING
To prevent serious injury from hot, high pressure oil,
never use your hands to check for oil leaks; use paper or
cardboard.

sufficient force to penetrate skin. If fluid is injected into
the skin, it must be surgically removed within a few hours
by a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gangrene
may result.

each day, before starting the engine. If the oil level is
low, remove the oil filler cap and add oil as required. Do
not overfill.

until it is cool. Even then, use extreme care when
removing the cap.
Do not pour cold water into a hot radiator. Do not operate
engine without a proper coolant mixture. Install cap and
tighten securely.

brake and remove key. Place key in a secure location to
prevent unauthorized use of equipment.
