prevent exhaust gases from entering
0000-GXX-0289-A0
As soon as the engine is
running, this machine
generates toxic exhaust
fumes containing chemi
-
cals, such as unburned
hydrocarbons (including
benzene) and carbon
monoxide, that are
known to cause respira
-
tory problems, cancer,
birth defects, or other
reproductive harm and
other injuries. Some of
the gases (e.g., carbon
monoxide) may be color
-
less and odorless and
can cause asphyxiation
or death very quickly. To
reduce the risk of serious
or fatal injury/illness from
inhaling toxic fumes,
never run the machine
indoors, in confined
spaces, or in or near
areas that are poorly ven
-
tilated. If exhaust fumes
become concentrated
due to insufficient ventila
-
tion, move the machine
or take other steps to
achieve proper ventilation
before proceeding.
