5 SAFETY INFORMATION/GENERAL
PRECAUTIONS
5.1 Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
All engine exhaust contains a deadly gas known as carbon monox-
ide. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that
may exist even though you may not see or smell engine exhaust.
Breathing carbon monoxide can result in headaches, dizziness,
drowsiness, nausea, confusion and could eventually lead to death.
Lethal levels of carbon monoxide can collect quickly and exist for
long periods of time when not properly ventilated. Always run the
ROXOR in a well ventilated or open area.
If you have symptoms that you think could be a result
of carbon monoxide poisoning, leave the area right away, and call or
go to the emergency room. If you keep breathing carbon monoxide
fumes, you may pass out and die.
Avoid running the engine in garages, carports or barns
that do not have proper ventilation. Avoid running the engine any-
where that may allow exhaust gases to be drawn into a building
through open doors, windows or vents resulting in the carbon monox-
ide poisoning of yourself or others.
5.2 Avoid Diesel Fuel Hazards
Diesel fuel is widely regarded as safe to handle and store in its liquid
form. However, diesel fuel in its vapor form can be dangerous, espe-
cially at temperatures above 100°F (38°C). The vaporization rate of
diesel fuel increases as the temperature increases. In the presence of
a vapor accelerant such as fan forced air or oxygen, the diesel fuel
can begin to vaporize even faster. Help reduce the risk of diesel fuel
hazards by following these instructions.
l
Strictly adhere to the fueling instructions in section
.
l
Never start or operate the engine if the fuel cap is not properly
installed.
l
Use only an approved (yellow) diesel fuel container to store and
transfer diesel fuel.
All fuel handling must take place in a well-ventilated
area. Avoid heat, flames and other sources of ignition, avoid inhal-
ation of vapors and contact with skin and eyes, do not siphon diesel
fuel by mouth, never fill a fuel container inside the ROXOR as the
interior surfaces are coated, acting as an insulator and allowing static
electricity to build up, help guard against static discharges by always
filling approved containers on the ground, do not allow anyone to
remain in the ROXOR while fueling, an occupant may not be able to
leave the area quickly in an emergency, failure to follow these warn-
ings may result in severe injury or death.
