Lethal Exhaust Gases!
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.
Rotating Parts!
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing
away from all moving parts to prevent
injury. Never operate the engine with
covers, shrouds, or guards removed.
Hot Parts!
The crankcase, cylinder head, exhaust
system, and other 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.
