SAFETY
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Hazard
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon
monoxide, a colorless and odorless
gas. Breathing exhaust can cause loss
of consciousness and may lead to
death.
If you run the engine in an area
that is confined, or even partially
enclosed, the air can become
contaminated with a dangerous
amount of exhaust gas. To keep
exhaust gas from building up,
provide adequate ventilation.
Refuel carefully to avoid spilling
fuel. Avoid overfilling the fuel
tank (there should be no fuel in the
filler neck). After refueling,
tighten the fuel filler cap securely.
If any fuel is spilled, make sure the
area is dry before starting the
engine.
The engine and exhaust system
become very hot during operation
and remain hot for a while after
stopping. Contact with hot engine
components can cause burns and may
ignite some materials.
Avoid touching a hot engine or
exhaust system.
Allow the engine to cool before
performing maintenance or
transporting.
