Safety References

The safety alert symbol ( ) is used to identify safety information about hazards that can result in personal injury. A signal word (DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION) is used with the alert symbol to indicate the likelihood and the potential severity of injury. In addition, a hazard symbol may be used to represent the type of hazard.

DANGER indicates a hazard which, if not

avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING indicates a hazard which, if not

avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, might result in minor or moderate injury.

CAUTION, when used without the alert symbol, indicates a situation that could result in damage to the engine.

This manual contains safety information to make you aware of the

hazards and risks associated with engines, and how to avoid them. Because Briggs & Stratton does not necessarily know what equipment this engine will power, it is important that you read and understand these instructions and the instructions for the equipment this engine powers.
