TOXIC FUMES, FIRE, AND EXPLOSION PRECAUTIONS

1.This Engine is designed for outdoor use only. Do not operate the Engine in a closed area or in a poorly ventilated area. When running, the Engine produces carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, toxic gas that, when inhaled, can cause serious personal injury or death. Whenever possible, use a carbon monoxide detector (not included) to detect excessive carbon monoxide fumes in the work area and in the surrounding area.

2.Gasoline fuel and fumes are flammable, and potentially explosive. Use proper fuel storage and handling procedures. Always have multiple ABC class fire extinguish- ers nearby.

3.Keep the Engine and surrounding areas clean at all times.

4.When spills of fuel or oil occur, they must be cleaned up immediately. Dispose of fluids and cleaning materials as per any local, state, or federal codes and regula- tions. Store oil rags in a covered metal container.

5.Never store fuel or other flammable materials near the Engine.

6.Do not smoke, or allow sparks, flames, or other sources of ignition around the Engine.

7.Keep grounded conductive objects, such as tools, away from exposed, live electri- cal parts and connections to avoid sparking or arcing. These events could ignite fumes or vapors.

8.Do not refill the Fuel Tank while the Engine is running or hot.

9.Do not operate the Engine with known leaks in the Engine’s fuel system.

10.Use only Engine manufacturer recommended oil and fuel.
