WARNING
ENGINES GIVE OFF CARBON MONOXIDE, AN ODORLESS,
COLORLESS, POISONOUS GAS. CARBON MONOXIDE MAY
BE PRESENT EVEN IF YOU DO NOT SMELL OR SEE ANY
ENGINE EXHAUST. BREATHING CARBON MONOXIDE
CAN CAUSE NAUSEA, FAINTING OR DEATH, IN ADDITION
TO DROWSINESS, DIZZINESS AND CONFUSION.
IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS, SEEK
FRESH AIR AND MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
HOT GASES ARE A NORMAL BY-PRODUCT OF A
FUNCTIONING INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE. FOLLOW
ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS TO PREVENT BURNS AND
FIRES.
DO NOT ALTER/MODIFY ENGINE:
• NEVER ALTER OR MODIFY THE ENGINE FROM THE
FACTORY. SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH MAY OCCUR IF
ENGINE IS MODIFIED OR ALTERED.
WHEN WORKING ON OR REPLACING PARTS FOR THE
ENGINE OR PRODUCT, YOU MUST ALWAYS PUT THE ON/
OFF SWITCH TO THE OFF POSITION.
ENGINE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
PREVENTING CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
• 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 and muer
pointed in the direction away from the operator.
• Never point the exhaust muer towards anyone. People
should always be many feet away from the operation of
the engine and its attachments.
• Always make sure the exhaust pipe is free of foreign
objects.
GASOLINE FIRES AND HANDLING FUEL SAFELY
• Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They
are ammable and vapors are explosive.
• When storing extra fuel be sure that it is in an appropriate
container and away from any re hazards. Prevent re
and explosion caused by static electric discharge. Use
only nonmetal, portable fuel containers approved by the
Underwriter’s Laboratory (U.L.) or the American Society for
Testing & Materials (ASTM).
• Always ll fuel tank outside in a well ventilated area. Never
ll your fuel tank with fuel indoors. (Examples include:
basement, garage, barn, shed, house, porch, etc.) Never
ll tank near appliances with pilot lights, heaters, or other
ignition sources. If the fuel has to be drained, this should
be done outdoors and with the proper equipment. Do not
pour fuel from fuel tank. The drained fuel should be stored
in a container specically designed for fuel storage or it
should be disposed of carefully.
• Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel with the engine
running. Stop engine and allow to cool before removing
the fuel cap/and or relling the engine.
• Do not smoke near or while handling engine fuel.
• Never drain fuel from engine in an enclosed area.
• During storage, tightly screw down fuel cap.
• Never pour fuel from engine fuel tank.
• Never siphon fuel by mouth to drain fuel tank.
• Always have an adult ll the fuel tank and never allow
children to ll the engine.
• Never allow an adult or anyone under the inuence of
drugs or alcohol to ll engine.
• When storing gasoline or equipment with fuel in the tank,
store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or other
appliances that have a pilot light or other ignition source
because they can ignite gasoline vapors.
BURNS AND FIRES
• The muer, muer guard and other parts of the engine
become extremely hot during the operation of the engine.
These parts remain extremely hot after the engine has
stopped.
• The engine exhaust becomes very hot during operation.
Keep engine at least three feet away from buildings and
other equipment during operation.
