WARNING:
Never use Ether on Engines
equipped with Cold Start Grid Heaters. Use of
starting fluid, which contains Ether, can cause
an explosion.
WARNING:
Operate the engine in a
well-ventilated area only. Assure that engine
operation will not produce a concentration of
toxic emissions.
• DO NOT operate the engine in the
presence of a fuel spill or gas leak.
Such combustible vapors, when drawn
into the engine, can cause engine over-
acceleration, explosion, fire and
extensive personal injury and property
damage. Before operating in any
hazardous environment, consult a
recognized authority (such as the
engine distributor) on engine operation
in hazardous environments.
• DO NOT smoke or operate the engine
during refueling.
WARNING:
When using steam cleaners
and pressure washers, wear protective
glasses, gloves and clothing to help prevent
personal injury.
WARNING:
NEVER use gasoline or
other flammable materials for cleaning parts.
Use only approved cleaning solvents.
WARNING:
Keep away from parts which
rotate; the fan blades can appear invisible
when the fan is rotating.
DO NOT pull or pry on the fan blades. This
practice will cause fan failure. Use only
approved methods and tools for manually
rotating the engine.
