should be observed. Exercise extreme caution to avoid spilling of gasoline. If
spillage occurs, wipe it off and allow evaporation time before starting the
engine. DO NOT attempt to put fuel in tank while the machine is still running.
Avoid smoking or open flames in area when handling gasoline. Never run the
unit indoors unless exhaust is vented to outside. These fumes contain carbon
monoxide which is colorless and odorless and can be fatal.
CAUTION
DO NOT OPERATE ENGINE WITHOUT MUFFLER.
NOTE:
The engine is equipped with a muffler that has spark arrestor
which is required in some States.
DO NOT TOUCH HOT MUFFLER, CYLINDERS OR FINS AS CONTACT

2.
MACHINE DAMAGE
: Never operate a machine after it has been damaged. A
damaged machine can be very hazardous.

circumstances should spraying into the wind be attempted. This may cause
hazardous accumulations on the machine or carrying vehicle.
