IS EVERYBODY’S BUSINESS
You alone know the operational demands
and special conditions affecting the
equipment in to your situation and therefore
assume the responsibility for developing,
carrying out, and enforcing the safety
concepts which apply to your own operation
to effect the greatest safety for yourself and
the people around you.

STORAGE
The effects of ultra violet light, pollution, dirt, grime, and salt deposits accumulate on the powder coated surface
of your machine over time. To extend the effective life of the powder coated surface, a regular maintenance
program should be implemented for the removal of any debris or residues.
As a general rule the machine should be cleaned after every use.
1) Remove any loose deposits with a wet sponge
2) Use a soft brush (non abrasive) or cloth, & a mild household detergent solution to remove any dirt, or grime
3) Pressure wash or rinse when nished
Detergents that recommend the use of gloves when handling should be avoided. The detergent may be
too harsh and therefore unsuitable for cleaning your powder coating. Although some strong solvents are
recommended for removing grease, or other stubborn residues these may be harmful to the extended life of
the powder coated surface. If paint splashes or other residue needs to be removed then use methylated spirits,
turpentine or white spirits.
When unit is not in use, store out of the reach of children. Ensure that petrol fumes are not present in the storage
area. For extensive storage periods, the fuel tank should be drained or a fuel stabiliser added. Draining the tank
is strongly recommended. Engine should be stored with the intake and exhaust valves closed (compression
stroke). See Engine Manual.
