FOR ENGINE
powered equipment
Turn the engine off before troubleshooting and mainte
nance work unless the maintenance work requires it to
be running.
Operate engines in open, well-ventilated
areas or vent the engine exhaust fumes
outdoors
Do not add the fuel near an open flame
welding arc Or when the engine is run-
ning. Stop the engine and allow it to cool
before refueling to prevent spilled fuel
from vaporizing on contact with hot en
gine parts and igniting DO not spill fuel
when filling tank. If fuel is spilled, wipe it
up and do not start engine until fumes
have been eliminated

1 .h. To avoid scalding, do not remove the ra
diator pressure cap when the engine i
hot.
ELECTRIC AND
MAGNETIC FIELDS
may be dangerous
ld
Keep all equipment safety guards, covers and devices
in position and in good repair. Keep hands, hair, cloth
ing and tools away from V-belts, gears, fans and all
Other moving parts when starting, operating or repairing
equipment.
In some cases it may be necessary to remove safety
guards to perform required maintenance. Remove
guards Only when necessary and replace them when
the maintenance requiring their removal is complete. A1
ways use the greatest care when working near moving
parts
If Do not put your hands near the engine
fan. DO not attempt to override the gov
ernor or idler by pushing on the throttle
control rods while the engine is running.
To prevent accidentally starting gasoline engines while
turning the engine Or welding generator during mainte-
nance work, disconnect the spark plug wires, distributor
cap or magneto wire as appropriate

2.d
Electric current flowing through any conductor causes
localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF) Welding
current creates EMF fields around welding cables and
welding machines
EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers, and
welders having a pacemaker should consult their phy
sician before welding
Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have other
health effects which are now not known.
All welders should use the following procedures in or-
der to minimize exposure to EMF fields from the weld
ing circuit:
2.d 2.
2.d 3.
2.d 4.
2.d 5.
Route the electrode and work cables together -
Secure them with tape when possible.
Never coil the electrode lead around your body
DO not place your body between the electrode
and work cables. If the electrode cable is on
your right side, the work cable should also be on
your right side.
Connect the work cable to the workpiece as
close as possible to the area being welded
DO not work next to welding power source
