Safety with Gasoline-Powered Engines
GASOLINE IS A HIGHLY FLAMMABLE LIQUID. GASOLINE ALSO GIVES OFF FLAMMABLE VAPOR THAT
CAN BE EASILY IGNITED AND CAUSE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION. NEVER OVERLOOK THE HAZARDS OF
GASOLINE. ALWAYS FOLLOW THESE PRECAUTIONS:
•
DO NOT RUN THE ENGINE INDOORS EXCEPT TO TRANSPORT THE DR SNOW THROWER
ATTACHMENT IN OR OUT OF A BUILDING AS YOU COULD BREATHE IN DANGEROUS CARBON
MONOXIDE GAS FROM THE ENGINE EXHAUST.
•
STORE ALL FUEL AND OIL IN CONTAINERS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED AND APPROVED FOR THIS
PURPOSE AND KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT AND OPEN FLAME, AND OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
•
FILL THE GASOLINE TANK OUTDOORS WITH THE ENGINE OFF AND ALLOW THE ENGINE TO COOL
COMPLETELY. DO NOT HANDLE GASOLINE IF YOU OR ANYONE NEARBY IS SMOKING, OR IF YOU
ARE NEAR ANYTHING THAT COULD CAUSE IT TO IGNITE OR EXPLODE. REPLACE THE FUEL TANK
AND FUEL CONTAINER CAPS SECURELY.
•
IF YOU SPILL GASOLINE, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO START THE ENGINE. MOVE THE MACHINE AWAY
FROM THE AREA OF THE SPILL AND
AVOID CREATING ANY SOURCE OF IGNITION UNTIL THE GAS
VAPORS HAVE DISSIPATED. WIPE UP ANY SPILLED FUEL TO PREVENT A FIRE HAZARD AND PROPERLY
DISPOSE OF THE WASTE.
•
ALLOW THE ENGINE TO COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE STORING IN ANY ENCLOSURE. NEVER STORE
THE MACHINE WITH GAS IN THE TANK OR A FUEL CONTAINER, NEAR AN OPEN FLAME OR SPARK
SUCH AS A WATER HEATER, SPACE HEATER, CLOTHES DRYER OR FURNACE.
•
NEVER MAKE ADJUSTMENTS OR REPAIRS WITH THE POWER UNIT ENGINE RUNNING.
•
DO NOT CHANGE THE ENGINE GOVERNOR SETTINGS OR MODIFY THE ENGINE SPEED.
•
NEVER TAMPER WITH SAFETY DEVICES. CHECK THEIR PROPER OPERATION REGULARLY.
