EXHAUST GAS
IS
DEADLY!
Exhaust gases from ail fuels (including diesel, gasoline, //quid propane,
naturai gas) contain carbon monoxlde, an odorless and coioriess gas.
Carbon monoxide
is
poisonous and
can
cause unconsciousness and death.
Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning
can
include;
Dizziness
Nausea Muscular Twitching
Headache Vomiting
Weakness and Sleepiness
Throbbing
in
Temples
Inability to Think Coherently
IF
YOU
OR
ANYONE
ELSE
EXPERIENCE ANY
OF
THESE
SYMPTOMS,
GET
OUT
INTO
THE FRESH AIR iMMEDlATELY. if symptoms persist, seek
medical attention. Shut down the unit
and
do not operate untii
it
has been
inspected and repaired.
Protection against carbon monoxide inhalation includes proper instaliation,
ventiiation and regular, frequent visual and audible inspections
of
the
complete exhaust system.
STARTING
1.
Move the speed control to the choke position.
2.
Engage the electric starter
for
up to
30
seconds
or pull the recoil starter until the engine starts.
3.
When the engine starts, move the speed con-
trol from the choke position to the fast or high
position as the engine warms up, usuallywithin
10
seconds..
4.
If
the engine does not start, wait
30
seconds
and repeat steps
2
and
3.
In very
cold
temperatures
it
may
be
necessary
to
partlaily open the choke when the engine
be-
gins
to
fire.
BREAK-IN
PROCEDURE
Controlled break-in
is
the ideal fitting
of
all
internal
moving metal parts. Using the proper oil and apply-
ing 'a conscientious maintenance program during
this period helps to obtain satisfactory service from
the Onan engine.
Maintain the proper cooling and lubrication during
break-in. Run the engine at half load for the first
1-1/2
hours with intermittent periods of
full
load to
control engine break-in.
-1
Using the wrong grade and weight
of
oil
with high engine operating temperatures
during break-In can cause engine damage. Use
the correct
oil
grade and weight and provide ad-
equate engine cooling during engine break-in.
Check the oil level at least every five operating
hours during break-in. Add oil to keep it
at
the proper
level, but never overfill, because overfilling may
cause the oil to foam and enter the breather system,
resulting
in
high
oil
consumption and
oil
accumula-
tion
in
the air cleaner houshg.
