ENGINE SAFETY
Internal combustion engines present special hazards during operation and fueling. Failure to follow the
safety guidelines described below could result in severe injury or death. Read and follow all safety warnings
described in the engine operator's manual. A copy of this manual was supplied with the unit when it was
shipped from the factory.
•
DO NOT
run engine indoors or in an area with poor ventilation unless exhaust hoses are used. Engine
exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly, odorless and colorless gas which, if inhaled, can cause
nausea, fainting or death. Make sure engine exhaust cannot seep into closed rooms or ventilation
equipment.
•
DO NOT
touch or lean against hot exhaust pipes or engine components.
•
DO NOT
clean air filter with gasoline or other types of low flash point solvents.
•
DO NOT
operate the unit without a functional exhaust system.
•
Prolonged exposure to sound levels in excess of 85 dB(A) can cause permanent hearing loss. Wear
hearing protection when working around a running engine.
•
Batteries contain sulfuric acid which can cause severe injury or death. Sulfuric acid can cause eye
damage, burn flesh or eat holes in clothing. Protective eye wear and clothing are necessary when
working on or around the battery. Always disconnect the negative (-) battery cable from the
corresponding terminal before performing any service on the engine or other components.
•
NEVER
open the radiator cap or oil drain plug while the engine is running or before the engine has
cooled down. Pressurized coolant and hot engine oil can cause severe burns. Allow the unit to cool
completely before attempting any service work.
•
Keep area around exhaust pipes and air ducts free of debris to reduce the chance of an accidental fire.
