SAFETY INFORMATION

Gasoline and exhaust gas
1. GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE:
a. Always turn the engine off when refueling.
b. Take care not to spill any gasoline on the engine or exhaust pipe(s)/muffler(s) when refueling.
c. Never refuel while smoking or in the vicinity of an open flame.
2. Never start the engine or let it run for any length of time in a closed area. The exhaust fumes are
poisonous and may cause loss of consciousness and death within a short time. Always operate
your machine in an area that has adequate ventilation.
3. Always turn the engine off before leaving the machine unattended and remove the key from the
main switch. When parking the machine, note the following:
a. The engine and exhaust pipe(s)/muffler(s) may be hot, therefore, park the machine in a place
where pedestrians or children are not likely to touch these hot areas.
b. Do not park the machine on a slope or soft ground, otherwise it may fall over.
c. Do not park the machine near a flammable source (e.g., a kerosene heater, or near an open
flame), otherwise it could catch fire.
4. When transporting the machine in another vehicle, make sure that it is kept upright and that the
fuel cock(s) are turned to “ON” or “RES” (for vacuum type)/”OFF” (for manual type). If the
machine should lean over, gasoline may leak out of the carburetor or fuel tank.
5. If you should swallow any gasoline, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or allow gasoline to get into
your eyes, see your doctor immediately. If any gasoline spills on your skin or clothing, immediate-
ly wash the affected area with soap and water and change your clothes.
