1.2 Operator Safety while using Internal Combustion Engines
Internal combustion engines present special hazards during operation
and fueling. Read and follow the warning instructions in the engine
owner’s manual and the safety guidelines below. Failure to follow the
warnings and safety standards could result in severe injury or death.
1.2.1 Do not smoke while operating the machine.
1.2.2 Do not smoke when refueling the engine.
1.2.3 Do not refuel a hot or running engine.
1.2.4 Do not refuel the engine near an open flame.
1.2.5 Do not spill fuel when refueling the engine.
1.2.6 Do not run the engine near open flames.
1.2.7 Do not 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. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide.
This is a poison you cannot see or smell. Exposure to carbon
monoxide can cause loss of consciousness and CAN KILL YOU IN
MINUTES.
1.2.8 Refill the fuel tank in a well-ventilated area.
1.2.9 Replace the fuel tank cap after refueling.
1.2.10 ALWAYS keep the area around a hot exhaust pipe free of debris to
reduce the chance of an accidental fire.
1.2.11 ALWAYS 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.
