• Excess lubrication or fuel/oil leaks or spills on the machine can also

serve as collection sites for debris. Prompt machine repair and oil/fuel

cleanup will minimize the potential for debris collection and reduced

cooling throughout machine life.

• Bearing failures or overheating can result in a fire. To reduce this risk,

always follow the instructions in the machine operator’s manual regarding

lubrication intervals and locations. Washing the machine while warm may

also reduce bearing life and increase potential for premature bearing

failure.

• Always shut off fuel when storing or transporting machine, if the machine

has a fuel shutoff.
