2.11 Safety Guidelines while using Internal Combustion Engines
WARNING
Internal combustion engines present special hazards during operation and
fueling. Failure to follow the warnings and safety guidelines could result in
severe injury or death.
☞ Read and follow the warning instructions in the engine owner's manual and
the safety guidelines below.
Guidelines for running the engine
• Keep the area around muffler pipe free of flammable materials.
• Check the fuel lines and the fuel tank for leaks and cracks before starting the engine.
Do not run the machine if fuel leaks are present or the fuel lines are loose.
• Engine exhaust CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide. This is a poison you cannot see or smell. Never run the machine indoors or
in an enclosed area such as a deep trench unless adequate ventilation, through such
items as exhaust fans or hoses, is provided.
• Do not smoke while operating the machine.
• Do not run the engine near open flames.
• Do not touch the engine or muffler while the engine is running or immediately after it
has been turned off.
