6. GASOLINE CAN CAUSE INJURY.
If you should swallow some gasoline,
inhale excess gasoline vapors, or
allow any gasoline to get into your
eyes, contact a doctor immediately. If
any gasoline spills onto your skin or
clothing, immediately wash skin
areas with soap and water, and
change your clothes.
7. ONLY OPERATE THE MACHINE IN AN
AREA WITH ADEQUATE VENTILA-
TION.
Never start the engine or let it run for
any length of time in an enclosed
area.
Exhaust fumes are poisonous. These
fumes contain carbon monoxide,
which by itself is odorless and color-
less. Carbon monoxide is a danger-
ous gas which can cause
unconsciousness or can be lethal.
8. PARK THE MACHINE CAREFULLY;
TURN OFF THE ENGINE.
Always turn off the engine if you are
going to leave the machine. Do not
park the machine on a slope or soft
ground as it may fall over.
9. THE ENGINE, EXHAUST PIPE, MUF-
FLER, AND OIL TANK WILL BE VERY
HOT AFTER THE ENGINE HAS BEEN
RUN.
Be careful not to touch them or to
allow any clothing item to contact
them during inspection or repair.
10. PROPERLY SECURE THE MACHINE
BEFORE TRANSPORTING IT.
When transporting the machine in
another vehicle, always be sure it is
properly secured and in an upright
position and that the fuel cock is in
the “OFF” position. Otherwise, fuel
may leak out of the carburetor or fuel
tank.
