DANGER
Running petrol engines in confined areas
CAN
KILL IN MINUTES
. Engine exhaust fumes
contain carbon-monoxide – a deadly gas that you
cannot smell or see.
NEVER run a petrol engine in confined areas
EVEN IF windows and doors are open. ONLY run
petrol engines OUTDOORS and away from
doors, windows and vents.
Do not operate the equipment in hazardous locations,
such as where there may be a risk of fire or explosions
from flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Do not operate the equipment in confined areas where
exhaust gases, smoke or fumes could reach dangerous
concentrations.
Do not refuel petrol engines while they are running.
Never smoke while refuelling petrol engines.
For generators, the electrical output is potentially lethal
and must only be connected to a fixed electrical
installation by an appropriately licensed person.
Be aware that the equipment may include hazardous
components, such as blades, hot surfaces and moving
parts.
