DANGER

1. ENGINES GIVE OFF CARBON MONOXIDE, AN ODORLESS, COLORLESS, POISON 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.
2. IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS, SEEK FRESH AIR AND MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. 2. IF YOUR MACHINE COMES WITH A SEPARATE ENGINE MANUAL, BE SURE TO READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY AND WARNING PRECAUTIONS OUTLINED THERE, IN ADDITION TO ANY IN THIS MANUAL.

Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable.

• Use an approved fuel container.
• Never add fuel to a running engine or hot engine.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never fill the fuel tank indoors.
• Replace the gasoline cap securely and clean up spilled fuel before restarting.

Preventing Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

1. Always start and run the engine outdoors. Do not start or run the engine in an enclosed area, even if doors or windows are open.
2. Never try to ventilate engine exhaust indoors. Carbon monoxide can reach dangerous levels very quickly.
3. Never run the engine outdoors where exhaust fumes may be pulled into a building.
4. Never run the 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.)
5. Never run the 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.)
6. Always run the engine with the exhaust and muffler pointed in the direction away from the operator.
7. Never point the exhaust muffler towards anyone. People should always be many feet away from the operation of the engine and its attachments.
8. Do not change the engine governor settings or over-speed the engine.
9. Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.

Gasoline Fires and Handling Fuel Safely
Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They are flammable and vapors are explosive.

1. When storing extra fuel be sure that it is in an appropriate container and away from any fire hazards.
2. Prevent fire 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.
3. Always fill fuel tank outside in a well-ventilated area. Never fill your fuel tank with fuel indoors. (Examples include: basement, garage, barn, shed, house, porch, etc.) Never fill tank near appliances with pilot lights, heaters, or other ignition sources. If the fuel has to be drained, this should be done outdoors. The drained fuel should be stored in a container specifically designed for fuel storage or it should be disposed of carefully.
4. Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel with the engine running. Stop engine and allow to cool before filling.
5. Do not smoke while refueling or operating the engine.
6. Never drain fuel from the engine in an enclosed area.
7. Always wipe up excess (spilled) fuel from the engine before starting. Clean up spilled fuel immediately. If fuel is spilled, do not start the engine but move the machine and fuel container from the area. Clean up spilled fuel and allow to evaporate and dry after wiping and before starting.
8. Allow fuel fumes/vapors to escape from the area before starting the engine.
9. Test the fuel cap for proper installation before starting and using the engine.
10. Always run the engine with the fuel cap properly installed on the engine.
11. During storage, keep the machine so gas cap is up.
12. Never siphon fuel by mouth to drain fuel tank.
13. Always have an adult fill the fuel tank and never allow children to fill the engine.
14. Never allow an adult or anyone under the influence of drugs or alcohol to fill the engine.
15. 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.
16. Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck bed with a plastic bed liner. Always place containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.
17. Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

BURNS AND FIRES

The muffler, muffler 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.
PREVENTION OF BURNS AND FIRES

1. Never remove the muffler guard from the engine.
2. Never touch the muffler guard because it is extremely hot and will cause severe burns.
3. Never touch parts of the engine that become hot after operation.
4. Always keep materials and debris away from muffler guards and other hot parts of the engine to avoid fires.

CHILDREN AND BYSTANDERS

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children and/or bystanders. Never assume that others will remain where you last saw them.
