checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches
are removed from machine area before starting it. A
wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part
of the machine may result in personal injury.

pected situations.

before transporting the machine or performing any
maintenance or service on the unit. Transporting or
performing maintenance or service on a machine
with engine on invites accidents. Please stop engine
