Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive which could cause burns, fire, or explosion
resulting in death or serious injury and/or property
damage.
Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction)
will pull hand and arm toward engine
faster than you can let go which could
cause broken bones, fractures, bruises,
or sprains resulting in serious injury.
When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resis-
tance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
