Safety with Gasoline Powered Machines
WARNING
Gasoline is a highly flammable liquid. Gasoline also gives off flammable vapor that can be easily ignited and cause a fire or explosion. Never overlook the hazards of gasoline. Always follow these precautions:
A. Never run the engine in an enclosed area or without proper ventilation
as the exhaust from the engine contains carbon monoxide, which is an odorless,
tasteless, and a deadly poisonous gas.
B. Store all fuel and oil in containers specifically designed and
approved for this purpose and keep away from heat and open flame, and out of
the reach of children.
C. Replace rubber fuel lines and grommets when worn or damaged.
D. Fill the gasoline tank outdoors, after the engine off and completely
cooled. Don’t handle gasoline if you or anyone nearby is smoking, or if you’re
near anything that could cause it to ignite or explode. Reinstall the fuel
tank cap and fuel container cap securely.
E. If you spill gasoline, do not attempt to start the engine. Move the
machine away from the area of the spillage and avoid creating any source of
ignition until the gas vapors have dissipated.
Wipe up any spilled fuel to prevent a fire hazard and properly dispose of the
waste.
F. Allow the engine to cool completely before storing in any enclosure.
Never store a machine that has gas in the tank, or a fuel container, near an
open flame or spark such as a water heater, space heater, clothes dryer or
furnace.
G. Never adjust or repair with the engine running. Shut down the engine,
disconnect the spark plug wire, keeping it away from the spark plug to prevent
accidental starting, wait 5 minutes before adjusting or making repairs.
H. Never tamper with the engine’s governor setting. The governor controls
the maximum safe operation speed and protects the engine. Over‐speeding the
engine is dangerous and will cause damage to the engine and to the other
moving parts of the machine. If required, see your authorized dealer for
engine governor adjustments.
I. Keep combustible substances away from the engine when it is hot.
J. Never cover the machine while the muffler is still hot.
K. Do not operate the engine with the air cleaner or the carburetor air
intake cover removed.
Removal of such parts could create a fire hazard. Do not use flammable
solutions to clean the air filter.
