Poisonous Exhaust
Gasoline and Propane Powered Models
DO NOT operate any gasoline/propane powered equipment without
adequate ventilation. Carbon monoxide is an invisible, odorless gas that can kill.
NEVER REFUEL A HOT ENGINE OR AN ENGINE WHILE IT IS RUNNING.
Only refuel a cool “stopped” engine in a well-ventilated area. Properly clean any spilled
fuel before starting the engine.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and poisonous. It should only be dispensed in
well ventilated areas, and with a cool engine.
Propane is extremely flammable.
Engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
Small gasoline engines produce high concentrations of carbon monoxide
(CO). Gasoline or propane powered equipment should not be used in
enclosed or partially enclosed areas. Symptoms of CO poisoning include,
headache, nausea, weakness, dizziness, visual problems and loss of
consciousness. If symptoms occur get into fresh air and seek medical attention
immediately.
Gasoline Models - Consult the Engine Manufacturer’s Owner’s Manual and follow the
directions for starting the engine and allow the engine to warm up.
Propane Models - Propane models use a vapor withdrawal system. Operate the propane
engine much like you would the gasoline model. Be sure propane tank is positioned
correctly.
Turn on main fuel valve at propane tank.
Check all connections for tightness and leaks.
If you detect an odor, IMMEDIATELY shut off the main fuel valve and consult a qualified
LP-gas service person or Blastrac directly.
NEVER check for propane leaks using an open flame. Instead, use a leak-testing solution.
