INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
– The machine must be disposed of properly, because of
the presence of toxic-harmful materials (oils, batteries,
plastics, etc.), which are subject to standards that
require disposal in special centers (see the Scrapping
chapter).
– If the machine is used according to the instructions, the
vibrations do not cause dangerous situations. Vibration
level at the operator's body is 0.38 m/s
maximum working speed (2,200 rpm).
– While the diesel engine is running the silencer heats up.
Do not touch the silencer to avoid serious scalding or
fire.
– Do not run the engine if the oil level is low, to avoid
damaging it seriously. Check the oil level with the engine
off and the machine on a level surface.
– Do not run the engine if the air cleaner is not installed, to
avoid damaging it.
– The engine coolant lines are under pressure. Perform
any check when the engine is off and after having
allowed it to cool down. Even when the engine is cool,
open the radiator cap carefully.
– The engine is equipped with a fan; do not stand near the
engine when it is hot, because the fan can start
operating even if the machine is off.
