I. General Safety Precautions
A. Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
All engine exhaust
contains carbon
monoxide, a deadly gas.
Breathing carbon
monoxide can cause
headaches, dizziness,
drowsiness, nausea,
confusion and eventually
death.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas
which may be present even if you do not see or smell any
engine exhaust. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can
collect rapidly and you can quickly be overcome and
unable to save yourself. Also, deadly levels of carbon
monoxide can linger for hours or days in enclosed or
poorly-ventilated areas. If you experience any symptoms of
carbon monoxide poisoning, leave the area immediately,
get fresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL TREATMENT.
To prevent serious injury or death from carbon monoxide:
• NEVER run engine indoors. Even if you try to
ventilate engine exhaust with fans or open windows
and doors, carbon monoxide can rapidly reach
dangerous levels.
• NEVER run engine in poorly-ventilated or partially
enclosed areas such as barns, garages,
basements, carports, under dwellings, or in pits.
• NEVER run engine outdoors where engine exhaust
can be drawn into a building through openings such
as windows and doors.
B. Avoid Gasoline Fires
Gasoline (fuel) vapors are highly
flammable and can explode. Fuel vapors
can spread and be ignited by a spark or
flame many feet away from engine. To
prevent injury or death from fuel fires,
follow these instructions:
• NEVER store engine with fuel in fuel tank inside a
building with potential sources of ignition such as
hot water and space heaters, clothes dryers,
electric motors, etc.
• NEVER add fuel with engine running.
• NEVER start or operate the engine with the fuel fill
cap removed.
• Allow engine to cool before refueling.
• NEVER fill fuel tank indoors or in an enclosed area
such as a garage, barn shed, etc. Fill fuel tank
outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
• DO NOT smoke while refueling tank.
• Use only an approved red GASOLINE container to
store and dispense fuel. Tecumseh recommends
purchasing gasoline in containers with a capacity of
2.5 gallons or less. Small containers are easier to
handle and help eliminate spillage during refueling.
• DO NOT pour fuel from engine or siphon fuel by
mouth. To empty the fuel tank see "I. Draining Fuel"
instructions on page 26.
Read equipment manufacturer’s manual and this
material thoroughly before using this engine. Failure to
do so can result in serious injury or death. Call Tecumseh
