Maintenance And Storage - Ardisam Benchmark 38249 Manuel De L'utilisateur

• Stop the engine (motor) when leaving the operating position
and when making any repairs, adjustments and inspections.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

• Keep machine, attachments, and accessories in safe work-
ing condition.
• Check engine mounting bolts and other hardware at frequent
intervals for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in
safe working condition.
• Never store machine with fuel in the fuel tank inside a build-
ing where ignition sources are present, such as hot water
and space heaters, clothes dryers and the like. Allow the
engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
• Always refer to the operator manual for important details if
the machine is to be stored for an extended period.
• If the fuel tank has to be drained, do this outdoors.
• Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for safe load-
ing, unloading and storage of machine.
PREVENTING CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
• Always start and run engine outdoors. Do not start or run en-
gine in an enclosed area, even if doors or windows are open.
• Never try to ventilate engine exhaust indoors. Carbon mon-
oxide can reach dangerous levels very quickly.
• Never run engine outdoors where exhaust fumes may be
pulled into a building.
• Never run engine outdoors in a poorly ventilated area where
the exhaust fumes may be trapped and not easily taken
away. (Examples include: in a large hole or areas where hills
surround your working area.)
• Never run engine in an enclosed or partially enclosed area.
(Examples include: buildings that are enclosed on one or
more sides, under tents, car ports or basements.)
• Always run the engine with the exhaust and muffler pointed
in the direction away from the operator.
• Never point the exhaust muffler towards anyone. People
should always be many feet away from the operation of the
engine and its attachments.
• Do not change the engine governor settings or over-speed
the engine.
• Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dan-
gerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
