Instructions
Your safety and the safety of others are very important. And using this
engine safely is an important responsibility.
To help you make informed decisions about safety, we have provided
operating procedures and other information on labels and in this
manual. This information alerts you to potential hazards that could
hurt you or others.
Of course, it is not practical or possible to warn you about all the
hazards associated with operating or maintaining an engine. You must
use your own good judgment.
You will find important safety information in a variety of forms,
including:
–– on the engine.
–– preceded by a safety alert symbol
and one
of three signal words, DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION.
These signal words mean:
You WILL be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if
you don’t follow instructions.
You CAN be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if
you don’t follow instructions.
You CAN be HURT if you don’t follow
instructions.
–– such as
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
–– such as
ENGINE SAFETY.
–– how to use this engine correctly and safely.
This entire book is filled with important safety information –– please
read it carefully.
