GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
All engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause headaches, dizziness,
drowsiness, nausea, confusion and eventually death.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that
may be present even if you do not see or smell any engine
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 symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, leave the area
immediately, get fresh air and seek medical treatment.
To prevent serious injury or death from carbon monoxide:
- Never run the vehicle in poorly ventilated or partially en-
closed areas such as garages, carports or barns. Even
if you try to ventilate engine exhaust with fans or open
windows and doors, carbon monoxide can rapidly reach
dangerous levels.
- Never run the vehicle outdoors where engine exhaust
can be drawn into a building through openings such as
windows and doors.
Avoid Gasoline Fires and Other Hazards
Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive. Fuel
vapors can spread and be ignited by a spark or flame many
feet away from the engine. To reduce the risk of fire or
explosion, follow these instructions:
- Use only an approved gasoline container to store fuel.
- Strictly adhere to instructions in VEHICLE FUELING
PROCEDURE.
- Never start or operate the engine if the fuel cap is not
properly installed.
Gasoline is poisonous and can cause injury or death.
- Never siphon gasoline by mouth.
- If you swallow gasoline, get any in your eye or inhale
gasoline vapor, see your doctor immediately.
If gasoline spills on you, wash with soap and water and change
your clothes.
