PREVENTING CARBON MONOXIDE POSIONING
• Always start and run engine outdoors. Do not start or run engine in an enclosed area,
even if doors or windows are open.
• Never try to ventilate engine exhaust indoors. Carbon monoxide can reach dangerous
levels very quickly.
• Never run engine outdoors where exhaust fumes may be pulled into a building.
• Never run engine outdoors in a poorly ventilated area where the exhaust fumes may be
trapped and not easily taken away. (Examples include: in a large hole or areas where hills
surround your working area.)
• Never run engine in an enclosed or partially enclosed area. (Examples include: buildings
that are enclosed on one or more sides, under tents, car ports or basements.)
• Always run the engine with the exhaust pointed in the direction away from the operator.
• Never point the exhaust towards anyone. People should always be a minimum of ten feet
away from the operation of the engine and its attachments.
• Do not change the engine governor settings or over-speed the engine.
