• Always start and operate the engine in a well-ventilated area.
  
• If in an enclosed area, vent the exhaust to the outside.
  
• Do not modify or tamper with the exhaust system.

In August 2016 the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) adopted amended regulations for the provision of “clear and reasonable” Proposition 65 warnings in Title 27, California Code of Regulations, Section 25600, et seq (“Warning”). OEHHA’s amended regulations place responsibility for providing warning on product manufacturers, producers, packagers, importers, suppliers, and distributors. These rules go into effect August 30, 2018.

Historically, McElroy has included the Proposition 65 warning regarding diesel engine exhaust in the operating manuals for equipment. While nothing has changed with McElroy’s products, the requirements for warnings have evolved, and now the warnings are required to be placed on equipment itself in addition to the owner manual. An additional warning is also now required related to lead acid batteries which may potentially expose operators to lead and sulfuric acid.

McElroy is updating the Proposition 65 warnings on the affected products which are manufactured after August 30, 2018.
