Model SP-8 &10
• If acid contacts skin: Flush with water. Apply baking
soda or lime to neutralize acid and get immediate
medical attention.
• If acid contacts eyes: Flush with water for 15
minutes and get immediate medical attention.
• If acid is swallowed: Drink large quantities of water
or milk, then drink milk of magnesia, beaten eggs, or
vegetable oil and get immediate medical attention.
Keep battery fully charged to avoid battery freezing. If
battery electrolyte freezes, battery can explode if you
try to charge or jump start the battery.
Explosive release of coolant can cause serious burns.
Turn off engine and let engine cool before removing
coolant cap. Loosen cap to rst stop to relieve pressure
before removing cap completely.
4.2.3 pressurIzed HydrAulIC fluId And GreAse
Hydraulic uid and grease injected into your skin

recycling centers, or your dealer for correct disposal
information.
4.2.5 fIre orexplosIon preventIon
Engine fuel can cause an explosion or re. Do not
service or refuel with engine running or near open
ame. Do not weld or smoke near fuel. Never allow
fuel to spill on hot machine components.
Keep sparks and ames away from batteries to prevent
explosion of hydrogen gas in and near a battery. Other
precautions include:
• When disconnecting battery cables, disconnect
negative (-) cable rst.
• When connecting battery cables, connect negative
(-) cable last.
• Do not short circuit battery posts with metal items.
Remove all trash and debris from engine. Do not store
oily rags or ammable materials on or near engine.
Always have a re extinguisher available on machine.
