SAFETY INFORMATION
Accidental Starts!
Before servicing the engine or
equipment, always disconnect
the spark plug lead to prevent
the engine from starting accidently.
Ground the lead to prevent sparks that
could cause fires.
On engines equipped with a 12-volt
battery and/or electric start, disconnect
the battery cables from the battery.
Always disconnect the negative (-) cable
first.
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.
WARNING: Over-speed is
Hazardous!
Never tamper with the govenor
components or settings to increase the
maximum speed. Severe personal injury
and damage to the engine or equipment
can result if operated at speed above
maximum ratings.
Explosive Fuel
LPG is extremely flammable and is
heavier than air and tends to settle in
low areas where a spark or flame could
ignite the gas. Do not start or operate
this engine in a poorly ventilated area
where leaking gas could accumulate
and endanger the safety of persons in
the area.
To insure personal safety, installation
and repair of LPG fuel supply systems
must be performed only by qualified LPG
system technicians. Improperly installed
and maintained LPG equipment could
cause fuel supply system or other
components to malfunction, causing gas
leaks.
Observe federal, state and local laws
governing LPG fuel and systems.
CAUTION: High Voltage!
Never touch electrical wires or
components while the engine is running.
They can be sources of electrical shock
which could cause severe injury or
burns.
!
Dangerous Acid, Explosive Gases!
Batteries contain sulfuric acid. To prevent
acid burns, avoid contact with skin, eyes
and clothing. 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
gasoline vapors are present.
For Your Safety!
These safety precautions should be followed at all times. Failure to follow these safety precautions could result in
injury to yourself and others.
