ENGINE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Warning Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
All engines contain carbon monoxide in their exhaust. Carbon monoxide is a deadly, colorless, tasteless, odorless gas
which may be present even if you do not smell or see any engine exhaust. Levels of carbon monoxide, which can be
deadly, can be present for days in an enclosed area that has poor ventilation. Any level of carbon monoxide, if
inhaled, can cause headaches, drowsiness, nausea, dizziness, confusion and eventually death. If you experience any of
these symptoms, seek fresh air and medical attention immediately.
Preventing Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Never run engine indoors.
•
Never try to ventilate engine exhaust indoors. Carbon monoxide can reach dangerous levels very quickly.
•
Never run engine outdoors where exhaust fumes may be pulled into a building.
•
Never run engine outdoors in a poorly ventilated area where the exhaust fumes may be trapped and not easily taken
away. (Examples include: in a large hole or areas where hills surround your working area.)
•
Never run engine in an enclosed or partially enclosed area. (Examples include: buildings that are enclosed on one or
more sides, under tents, car ports or basements.)
•
Always run the engine with the exhaust and muffler pointed in the direction away from the operator.
•
Never point the exhaust muffler towards anyone. People should always be many feet away from the operation of the
engine and its attachments.
Gasoline Fires and Handling Fuel Safely
Fuel and fuel vapors are highly flammable. Never use fuel where a spark or flame may be present. Never use fuel where
a potential source of ignition could occur. (Examples include: hot water or space heaters, clothes dryer, electric motors, etc.)
Keep flames and sparks away from engine and fuel to prevent fires. Fuel fires spread very quickly and are highly
explosive.
Prevention of Gasoline Fires
•
Never fill your fuel tank indoors. (Examples include: basement, garage, barn, shed, house, porch, etc.)
Always fill fuel tank outside in a well-ventilated area.
•
Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel with the engine running. Stop engine and allow to cool before filling.
•
Never drain fuel from engine in an enclosed area.
•
Always wipe up excess (spilled) fuel from engine before starting. Clean up spilled fuel immediately.
•
Allow spilled fuel to dry, after wiping and before starting.
•
Allow fuel fumes/vapors to escape from the area before starting engine.
•
Test the fuel cap for proper installation before starting and using engine.
•
Always run the engine with fuel cap properly installed on the engine.
•
Always unscrew gas cap vent screw while engine is running.
•
Never smoke while refilling engine fuel tank.
