WARNINGS

Never touch, or allow any 
object to come into contact 
with, the rotating parts.

Model engine fuel is poison-
ous. Do not allow it to come 
into contact with the eyes or 
mouth. Always store it in a 
clearly marked container and 
out of the reach of children.

Model engine fuel is also 
highly flammable. Keep it 
away from open flame, 
excessive heat, sources of 
sparks, or anything else which 
might ignite it. Do not smoke 
or allow anyone else to smoke, 
near to it.

Model engines generate 
considerable heat. Do not 
touch any part of your 
engine until it has cooled. 
Contact with the muffler 
(silencer), cylinder head or 
exhaust header pipe, in 
particular, may result in a 
serious burn.

Never operate your engine in an en-
closed space. Model engines, like auto-
mobile engines, exhaust deadly carbon-
monoxide. Run your engine only in an 
open area.
