SAFETY ADVICES
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Most accidents with engines can be avoided when following all
directions in these instructions and on the engine. The dangers
most frequently occurring and the corresponding protective
measures are described below.
Responsibility of the owner
z
The engine ensures safe and reliable functioning when
operated according to the instructions. Read these
instructions before starting the engine. Disregarding these
instructions may result in personal injuries or property
damage.
z
Familiarize yourself with the quick shut-down of the engine as
well as the operation of the control functions. Do not allow
persons who have not yet received proper instructions to
operate the engine.
z
Do not allow children to operate the machine. Keep children
and pets away from the operating area.
Care when fuelling!
Gasoline/petrol is extremely flammable and generates explosive
vapours. Fuel outdoors in a well ventilated area when the machine
is not running. Never smoke and keep other sources of ignition
away. Always store gasoline in a suitable container. If gasoline is
spilled make sure that the spot is dry before starting the engine.
Hot silencer
z
The silencer becomes very hot during operation and remains
hot even after stopping the engine. Take care not to touch the
silencer while hot. Allow the engine to cool before storing it
inside.
z
To prevent the risk of fire and to ensure adequate ventilation
during stationary operation place the engine at a distance of
at least 1 metre from walls or other objects while operating it.
Do not store any flammable objects near the machine.
Carbon monoxide hazard
Exhaust gases contain toxic carbon monoxide. Avoid breathing
exhaust gases. Never operate the engine in a closed garage or any
other enclosed area.
Other equipment
Read the operating instructions of the machine which is powered
by the engine once more; learn about additional safety measures
which need to be followed in connection with starting, operating
and stopping the engine or any protective equipment that may
possibly be required to operate the machine.
