Safety Precautions (Cont.)
Explosive Gas!
Ba eries produce explosive hydrogen
gas while being charged. To prevent a
fi re or explosion, charge ba eries only in
well ventilated areas. Keep sparks, open
fl ames, and other sources of ignition
away from the ba ery at all times. Keep
ba eries out of the reach of children.
Remove all jewelry when servicing
ba eries.
Before disconnecting the negative
(-) ground cable, make sure all switches
are OFF. If ON, a spark will occur at the
ground cable terminal which could cause
an explosion if hydrogen gas or LPG/NG
fuel vapors are present.

Explosive Fuel!
LPG is extremely fl ammable and is
heavier than air and tends to se le in
low areas where a spark or fl ame could
ignite the gas. Do not start or operate
this engine in a poorly ventilated area
where leaking gas could accumulate and
endanger the safety of persons in the area.
NG is extremely fl ammable, is lighter
than air, and rises. Do not start or operate
this engine in a poorly ventilated area
where leaking gas could accumulate and
endanger the safety of persons in the area.
To ensure personal safety, installation and
repair of LPG/NG fuel supply systems
must be performed only by qualifi ed
LPG/NG system technicians. Improperly
installed and maintained LPG/NG
equipment could cause fuel supply system
or other components to malfunction,
causing gas leaks.
Observe federal, state and local laws
governing LPG/NG fuel, storage, and
systems.
Lethal Exhaust Gases!
Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous
carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is
odorless, colorless, and can cause death if
inhaled. Avoid inhaling exhaust fumes,
and never run the engine in a closed
building or confi ned area.
Carbon Monoxide can cause
severe nausea, fainting or death.
Do not operate engine in closed or
confi ned area.
