GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Avoid Ca rbon Monoxide
Poisoning
All engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing car-
bon monoxide can cause headaches,
dizziness , drowsin ess, nausea, confu-
sion and eventually death.
Carbon m onoxide is a colorless, odor-
less, tasteless gas that may be pres ent
even if you do not see or smell any en-
gine exhaust. Deadly levels of carbon
monoxide can collect rapidly, and you
can quickly be overcome and unable
to save yourself. Also, deadly levels of
carbon monoxide can linger for hours
or days in enclosed or poorly ventilated
areas. If you experience any symp-
toms of carbon monoxide poisoning,
leave the area immediate ly, get fresh
air and seek medical treatment.
To prevent serious injury or death from
carbon monoxide:
– Never run t he vehicle in p oorly ven-
tilated or partially enclosed areas
such as garages, carp orts or barn s.
Even if you try to ventilate engine
exhaust with fans or open windows
and doors, ca rbon monoxide can
rapidly reach dangerous levels.
– N ever run the vehicle out do ors
where engineexhaust can bedrawn
into a building through openings
such as windows and doors.

Other Hazards
Gasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive. Fuel vapors can
spread and be ignited by a spark or
flame many feet aw ay from the en-
gine. To reduce the risk of fire or explo-
sion, follow these instructions:
– U se only an approved gaso line con-
tainer to store fuel.

come hot during operation. Avoid con-
