EM-900SDCE MIXER — SAFETY MESSAGE ALERT SYMBOLS

FOR YOUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS!

Safety precautions should be followed at all times when
operating this equipment. Failure to read and understand the
Safety Messages and Operating Instructions could result in
injury to yourself and others.

HAZARD SYMBOLS

NOTE

This Owner's Manual has been developed to provide
complete instructions for the safe and efficient operation
of Multiquip's EM-900SDCE mixer. For specific engine
operating questions, please refer to the engine
manufacturers instructions for data relative to its safe
operation.

Before using this MIXER, ensure that the operating
individual has read and understands all instructions
in this manual.

SAFETY MESSAGE ALERT SYMBOLS

The three (3) Safety Messages shown below will inform you
about potential hazards that could injure you or others. The
Safety Messages specifically address the level of exposure to
the operator, and are preceded by one of three words: DANGER,

WARNING, or CAUTION.

Lethal Exhaust Gases

Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous
carbon monoxide. This gas is colorless and

odorless, and can cause death if inhaled.
NEVER operate this equipment in a confined

area or enclosed structure that does not
provide ample free flow air.

Explosive Fuel

Diesel

fuel is extremely flammable, and its
vapors can cause an explosion if ignited. DO
NOT start the engine near spilled fuel or
combustible fluids. DO NOT fill the fuel tank
while the engine is running or hot. DO NOT
overfill tank, since spilled fuel could ignite if it
comes into contact with hot engine parts or
sparks from the ignition system. Store fuel in

approved containers, in well-ventilated areas
and away from sparks and flames. NEVER
use fuel as a cleaning agent.
