SYMPTOMS OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, extremely toxic gas that
can
KILL
in a matter of minutes. Breathing air containing carbon monoxide
produces symptoms of headache, dizziness, loss of muscular control, a sleepy
feeling and finally coma. Moderate or severe brain damage can result from inhaling
air containing carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a product of incomplete
combustion of petrol and occurs in exhaust fumes of petrol-burning heaters and all
internal combustion engines. Carbon Monoxide collects in spaces where there is no
constant air flow or ventilation.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy or weak due to
exposure to CO while using petrol engine, GET TO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY
.
ADDING OR DRAINING PETROL TO OR FROM THE ENGINE
Petrol
and petrol
vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive. Fire and explosion can result in severe burns
and even death.
•
Turn engine to the
OFF
position and let cool at least two minutes before
removing petrol cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in petrol tank.
•
DO NOT
fill or drain petrol tank inside enclosed structures. Accidental sparks
can result in fires or explosions leading to severe burns and even death.
Keep protective guards in place and in proper working condition.
Maintain tools and equipment with care.
They will function better and more
safely when kept clean and in good working condition. Keeping the tool clean,
dry, and free of grime will add to its life and performance.
Do not use the tool for applications other than specified
.
SAFETY RULES FOR PETROL ENGINES
Carbon monoxide is a product of incomplete combustion, such as exhaust
fumes from the engine. Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless and tasteless
and can kill in a matter of minutes
Gas particulate filters and respirators will not protect someone
from carbon monoxide poisoning. If symptoms of carbon monoxide
poisoning appear, take the affected person outdoors immediately
and away from all structures and equipment that could produce the
gas. Call for emergency medical treatment and make them aware of the
situation.
Operate generator only outdoors. Do not allow exhaust gas fumes from
entering confined areas through windows, open doors, ventilation ducts and
other openings.
Do not start or run engine indoors or in an enclosed area,such as agarage
(even if windows and doors are open). This also applies to the engine
compartment of a recreational vehicle (RV).
DO NOT tamper with Evaporation and Exhaust Assembly in the generator.

DANGER
Using a generator indoors WILL KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas you
cannot see or smell.
NEVER use in the home or
in partly enclosed areas
such as garages.
Avoid other generator hazards.
READ MANUAL BEFORE USE.
ONLY use outdoors and far
from open windows, doors,
and vents.
