General remarks and safety information

 

CAUTION

Electrical Shock!

Electrical Shock can cause 

injury.

Do not touch wires while engine 

is running.

Never touch electrical wires or components while the engine 

is running. They can be sources of electrical shock.

 

DANGER

High Pressure Fluid Puncture!
High Pressure Fluids can 

puncture skin and cause 

severe injury or death.

Do  not  work  on  fuel  system 

without  proper  training  or  safety 

equipment.

Fuel system is to be serviced only by properly trained 

personnel wearing protective safety equipment. Fluid 

puncture injuries are highly toxic and hazardous. If an injury 

occurs, seek immediate medical attention.

 

DANGER

Explosive Gas!

Explosive Gas can cause fires 

and severe acid burns.

Charge  battery  only  in  a  well 

ventilated area. Keep sources of 

ignition away.

Batteries produce explosive hydrogen gas while being 

charged.  To  prevent  a  fire  or  explosion,  charge  batteries 

only in well ventilated areas. Keep sparks, open flames, and 

other sources of ignition away from the battery at all times. 

Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Remove all 

jewelry when servicing batteries. Before disconnecting the 

negative (-) ground cable, make sure all switches are OFF. 

If ON, a spark will occur at the ground cable terminal which 

could cause an explosion if hydrogen gas or fuel vapors are 

present.

 

DANGER

Explosive Fuel!

Fuel  can  cause  fires  and 

severe burns.

Do not fill the fuel tank while the 

engine is hot or running.

Fuel  is  flammable  and  its  vapors  can  ignite.  Store  fuel 

only in approved containers, in well ventilated, unoccupied 

buildings. Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is hot or 

running, since spilled fuel could ignite if it comes in contact 

with hot parts or sparks from ignition. Do not start the engine 

near spilled fuel. Never use fuel as a cleaning agent.

 

DANGER

Hot Parts!

Hot Parts can cause severe 

burns.

Do  not  touch  engine  while 

operating or just after stopping.

Engine components can get extremely hot from operation. 

To prevent severe burns, do not touch these areas while the 

engine is running, or immediately after it is turned off. Never 

operate the engine with heat shields or guards removed.

 

DANGER

Lethal Exhaust Gases!

Carbon Monoxide can cause 

severe nausea, fainting or 

death.

Avoid  inhaling  exhaust  fumes, 

and  never  run  the  engine  in  a 

closed building or confined area.

Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide. 

Carbon monoxide is odorless, colorless, and can cause 

death if inhaled. Avoid inhaling exhaust fumes, and never 

run the engine in a closed building or confined area.

 

DANGER

Rotating Parts!

Rotating Parts can cause 

severe injury.

Stay  away  while  engine  is  in 

operation.

Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from all moving 

parts to prevent injury. Never operate the engine with covers, 

shrouds, or guards removed.

 

DANGER

Accidental Starts!

Accidental Starts can cause 

severe injury or death.

Disable engine by disconnecting 

negative (-) battery cable.

Disabling engine. Accidental starting can cause severe 

injury or death. Before working on the engine or equipment, 

disable the engine as follows: 1) Disconnect negative (-) 

battery cable from battery.
