SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
FUEL SYSTEM
•
DO NOT fill fuel tanks while engine is running.
•
DO NOT smoke or use an open flame in the vicinity of
the engine or fuel tank. Internal combustion engine fuels
are highly flammable.
•
Fuel line must be LP approved, adequately secured, and
free from leaks. Piping at the engine should be approved
flexible line. Do not use copper piping for flexible lines as
copper will work harder and become brittle enough to
break.
•
Be sure all fuel supplies have a positive shut-off valve.
PROTECT AGAINST MOVING PARTS
•
Do not wear loose clothing in the vicinity of moving parts,
such as PTO shafts, flywheels, blowers, couplings, fans
belts, etc.
•
Keep your hands away from moving parts.
EXHAUST SYSTEM
•
Exhaust products of any internal combustion engine are
toxic and can cause injury, or death if inhaled. When
operating the engine in a confined area, make sure the
ventilation system is operating properly.
•
DO NOT use exhaust gases to heat a compartment.
•
Make sure that your exhaust system is free of leaks.
Make sure that exhaust manifolds are secure and are
not warped by bolts unevenly torqued.
EXHAUST GAS IS DEADLY!
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas
that can cause unconsciousness and death. It is an
odorless and colorless gas formed during combustion of
hydrocarbon fuels. Symptoms of carbon monoxide
poisoning are:
Before operating the engine, read the Operator’s Manual
and become familiar with it and the equipment. Safe and
efficient operation can be achieved only if the equipment is
properly operated and maintained.
The following symbols, found throughout this manual, alert
you to potentially dangerous conditions to the operator,
service personnel, or the equipment.
This symbol warns of immediate
hazards that w ill result in severe personal injury or
death.
This symbol refers to a hazard or unsafe
practice that can result in severe personal injury or

This symbol refers to a hazard or unsafe
practice that can result in personal injury or product or
property damage.
Fuels, electrical equipment, batteries, exhaust gases and
moving parts present potential hazards that can result in
severe personal injury. Take care in following these
recommended procedures. All local, state and federal codes
should be consulted and complied with.
GENERAL
•
Provide appropriate fire extinguishers and install in
convenient locations. Use an extinguisher rated ABC by
NFPA.
•
Make sure that all fasteners on the engine are secure
and accurately torqued. Keep guards in position over fans,
driving belts, etc.
•
If it is necessary to make adjustments while the engine
is running, use extreme caution when close to hot
exhausts, moving parts, etc.
•
Used engine oils have been identified by some state or
federal agencies as causing cancer or reproductive
toxicity. When checking or changing engine oil, take care
not to ingest, breathe the fumes, or contact used oil.
•
Do not work on this equipment when mentally or
physically fatigued, or after consuming any alcohol or
drug that makes the operation of equipment unsafe.
BATTERIES
•
Before starting work on the engine, disconnect batteries
to prevent inadvertent starting of the engine.
•
DO NOT SMOKE while servicing batteries. Lead acid
batteries give off a highly explosive hydrogen gas which
can be ignited by flame, electrical arcing or by smoking.
•
Verify battery polarity before connecting battery cables.
Connect negative cable last.
CAUTION

WARNING
!
DANGER
!
•
Dizziness

Weakness and Sleepiness
•
Throbbing in Temples
•
Vomiting
•
Muscular Twitching
If you experience any of these symptoms, get out into fresh
air immediately, shut down the unit and do not use it until it
has been inspected.
The best protection against carbon monoxide inhalation is
proper installation and regular, frequent inspections of the
complete exhaust system. If you notice a change in the
sound or appearance of exhaust system, shut the unit down
immediately and have it inspected and repaired at once by
a competent mechanic.
KEEP THE UNIT AND SURROUNDING AREA CLEAN
•
Make sure that oily rags are not left on or near the engine.
•
Remove all unnecessary grease and oil from the unit.
Accumulated grease and oil can cause overheating and
subsequent engine damage and present a potential fire
hazard.
