IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE
WARNING:
Keep hands, feet, shoestrings, and neckties away from all moving parts while the machine is in
operation. The exhaust system gets very hot, so keep hands, clothing and any combustible items
away from the engine while it is hot.
Powr-Flite machines are built tough and durable, but do not abuse the machine or mechanical
damage and/or personal injury could result. With proper care and maintenance this unit will give
you trouble- free operation for years to come.
WARNING:
LETHAL EXHAUST GASES
Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is odorless,
colorless, tasteless, and can cause death if inhaled. Although NFPA 58 Sec.11.13. (2008 Edition)
permits these machines to be used in buildings frequented by the public, Powr-Flite suggests
avoiding inhaling exhaust fumes and to never run the engine in a closed building or confined area
without proper ventilation.
Although LPG burns more efficiently and emits less carbon monoxide than gasoline, some
carbon monoxide is produced. Avoid inhaling exhaust gases - especially over prolonged periods
of time. Do not allow engine to run unattended.
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR INJURY
If the handle throttle lever is moved suddenly, high starting torque will cause the machine to
move, and may cause damage or injury. Don’t wear loose-fitting clothing while near the machine,
and take care not to accidentally move the throttle lever.
The machine must not be running while:
• Leaving machine unattended
• Changing pads
• Attempting any maintenance or adjustment
These machines should not:
• Be used by unqualified or untrained personnel
• Be used unless they are properly maintained and adjusted
• Be used in areas with obstructions such as thresholds, etc.
• Be used in areas with loose tiles
• Be used in rooms without proper ventilation
