ENGINE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Warning Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Engines give off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless,
poisonous gas. Carbon monoxide may be present even if you
do not smell or see any engine exhaust. Breathing carbon
monoxide can cause nausea, fainting or death, in addition
to drowsiness, dizziness and confusion. If you experience
any of these symptoms, seek fresh air and medical attention
immediately.
If your product comes with a separate engine manual, be sure
to read and follow all safety and warning precautions outlined
there, in addition to any in this manual.
Preventing Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
• Always start and run engine outdoors. Do not start
or run engine in an enclosed area, even if doors or
windows are open.
• Never try to ventilate engine exhaust indoors. Carbon
monoxide can reach dangerous levels very quickly.
• Never run engine outdoors where exhaust fumes may
be pulled into a building.
• Never run engine outdoors in a poorly ventilated area
where the exhaust fumes may be trapped and not
easily taken away. (Examples include: in a large hole
or areas where hills surround your working area.)
• Never run engine in an enclosed or partially enclosed
area. (Examples include: buildings that are enclosed
on one or more sides, under tents, car ports or
basements.)
• Always run the engine with the exhaust and muffler
pointed in the direction away from the operator.
• Never point the exhaust muffler towards anyone.
People should always be many feet away from the
operation of the engine and its attachments.
• Do not change the engine governor settings or over-
speed the engine.
