SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Muffler

The muffler is designed to reduce the noise level and to direct the exhaust gases away from the operator.

CAUTION! Muffler is fitted with a catalytic converter designed to reduce exhaust gas emissions.

For mufflers, it is very important that you fol- low the instructions on checking, maintain- ing, and servicing your machine.

See Checking, maintaining and servicing the machine’s safety equipment section.

CAUTION: Mufflers fitted with cata- lytic converters get very hot during use and remain so for some time after stop- ping. This also applies at idle speed. Con- tact can result in burns to the skin. Re- member the risk of fire!

WARNING: The inside of the muffler contain chemicals that may be carcinogenic. Avoid contact with these elements in the event of a damaged muffler.

WARNING: Engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. DO NOT start or run the machine indoors, or anywhere that is poorly ventilated. The exhaust fumes from the engine are hot and may contain sparks which can start a fire. Never start the machine in- doors or near combustible material!
