5 Safety Information/General Precautions
5.1 Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
All engine exhaust contains a deadly gas known as carbon
monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas
that may exist even though you may not see or smell engine
exhaust. Breathing carbon monoxide can result in headaches,
dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confusion and could eventually lead
to death. Lethal levels of carbon monoxide can collect quickly and
exist for long periods of time when not properly ventilated. Always
run the ROXOR in a well ventilated or open area.
If you have symptoms that you think could be a result of carbon
monoxide poisoning, leave the area right away, and call or go to
the emergency room. If you keep breathing carbon monoxide
fumes, you may pass out and die.
Avoid running the engine in garages, carports or barns that do not
have proper ventilation. Avoid running the engine anywhere that
may allow exhaust gases to be drawn into a building through open
doors, windows or vents resulting in the carbon monoxide
poisoning of yourself or others.
5.2 Avoid Diesel Fuel Hazards
Diesel fuel is widely regarded as safe to handle and store in its
liquid form. However, diesel fuel in its vapor form can be
dangerous, especially at temperatures above 100° F (38° C). The
vaporization rate of diesel fuel increases as the temperature
increases. In the presence of a vapor accelerant such as fan forced
air or oxygen, the diesel fuel can begin to vaporize even faster.
Help reduce the risk of diesel fuel hazards by following these
instructions.
• Strictly adhere to the fueling instructions in section 14.2 Fueling
Procedure
• Never start or operate the engine if the fuel cap is not properly
installed
• Use only an approved (yellow) diesel fuel container to store and
transfer diesel fuel
All fuel handling must take place in a well-ventilated area. Avoid
heat, flames and other sources of ignition, avoid inhalation of
vapors and contact with skin and eyes, do not siphon diesel fuel by
mouth, never fill a fuel container inside the ROXOR as the interior
surfaces are coated, acting as an insulator and allowing static
electricity to build up, help guard against static discharges by
always filling approved containers on the ground, do not allow
anyone to remain in the ROXOR while fueling, an occupant may
not be able to leave the area quickly in an emergency, failure to
follow these warnings may result in severe injury or death.
