Gasoline is extremely flammable
and its vapors can explode if
ignited. Store gasoline only in
approved containers, in well
ventilated, unoccupied buildings,
away from sparks or flames. Do not
fill the fuel tank while the engine is

ignition. Do not start the engine near
spilled fuel. Never use gasoline as a
cleaning agent.
Rotating Parts can cause severe
injury.
Stay away while engine is in
operation.

Do not touch engine while operating
or just after stopping.
WARNING
Hot Parts!

extremely hot from operation. To
prevent severe burns, do not touch
these areas while the engine is

with heat shields or guards
removed.
