GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Avoid Carbon Mono xide
Poisoning
All engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a deadlygas. Breathing car-
bon monoxide can cause headaches,
dizziness , drowsiness, naus ea, confu-
sion and eventually death.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odor-
less, tasteless gas that may be pres ent
even if you do not see or smell any en-
gine exhaust. Deadly levels of carbon
monoxide can collect rapidly, and you
can quickly be overcome and unable
to save yourself. Also, deadly levels of
carbon monoxide can linger for hours
or days in enclosed or poorly ventilated
areas. If you experience any symp-
toms of carbon monoxide poisoning,
leave the area imm ediately, get fresh
air and seek medical treatment.
To prevent serious injury or death from
carbon monoxide:
– Never run the vehicle in poorly ven-
tilated or p artially en clo se d areas
such as garages, carports or barns.
Even if you try to ventilate engine
exhaust with fans or open windows
and doors, ca rbon monoxide ca n
rapidly reach dangerous levels.
– Never run th e vehicle outdoo rs
where engineexhaust can be drawn
into a building through openings
such as windows and doors.
Avoid Gasoline Fires and
Other Hazards
Gasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive. Fuel vapors can
spread and be ignited by a spark or
flame many feet awa y from the en-
gine. To reduce the risk of fire or explo-
sion, follow these instructions:
– Never start or operate the engine
with the fuel cap removed.
– Use only an approved red gasoline
container to store fuel.
– Strictly adhere to instru ction s in
FUEL

Gasoline is poisonous and can cause
injury or de ath.
– Never siphon gasoline by mouth.
– If you swallow gasoline, get any in
your eye or inhale gasoline vapor,
see your doctor immediately.
If gasoline spills on you, wash w ith
soap and water and change your
clothes.
Avoid Burns from Hot Parts
Certain components become hot dur-
ing operation. Avoid contact with
those parts during and s hortly after
operation to avoid burns.
Accessories and
Modifications
Do not make unauthorized modifica-
tions, or use attachments or acces-
sories that are not approved by BRP.
