ventilated area.

General guidelines
Never let other people use the unit without ensuring they have all of the necessary instructions beforehand. Never allow a child to
touch the unit, even when switched off, and do not operate the unit when animals are in the vicinity (fear, disturbance, etc.).
In all cases, respect the local regulations currently in place concerning the use of the units. Exhaust gases, fuel and oil are toxic
products; take all necessary protective measures.
2.3
Guidelines for protecting the environment
Drain the engine oil into a designated container: never drain or discard engine oil onto the ground.
As far as possible, avoid sound reverberating through walls or buildings (the noise will be amplified).
If the unit is used in wooded, bushy or uncultivated areas and if the exhaust silencer is not fitted with a spark arrester, clear any
vegetation away from the area and take care that the sparks do not cause a fire. Once the unit is no longer being used (end of
product life), take it to a waste collection point.
