ENGINE SaFEtY PrECautIONS
WarNING CarBON mONOxIDE POISONING
All engines give off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless, poisonous
gas, in the exhaust. Carbon monoxide may be present even if you do
not smell or see any engine exhaust. Levels of carbon monoxide, which
can be deadly, can be present for days in an enclosed area that has poor
ventilation. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nausea, fainting or
death. Any level of carbon monoxide, if inhaled, can cause headaches,
drowsiness, nausea, dizziness, confusion and eventually death. If you
experience any of these symptoms, seek fresh air and medical atten-
tion immediately.
PrEVENtING CarBON mONOxIDE POISONING
• Never run engine indoors.
• Start and run engine outdoors.
• Never try to ventilate engine exhaust indoors. Carbon monoxide can
reach dangerous levels very quickly.
• Never run engine outdoors where exhaust fumes may be pulled into
a building.
• DO NOT start or run an engine in an enclosed area, even if doors or
windows are open. (Examples include: in a large hole or areas where
hills surround your working area.)
• Never run engine in an enclosed or partially enclosed area. (Examples
include: buildings that are enclosed on one or more sides, under
tents, car ports or basements.)
• Always run the engine with the exhaust and muffler pointed in the
direction away from the operator.
• Never point the exhaust muffler towards anyone. People should
always be many feet away from the operation of the engine and its
attachments.
GaSOLINE FIrES Or haNDLING FuEL SaFELY
Fuel and fuel vapors are highly flammable. Never use fuel where a spark
or flame may be present. Never use fuel where a potential source of
ignition could occur. (Examples include: hot water or space heaters,
clothes dryer, electric motors, etc.) Keep flames and sparks away from
engine and fuel to prevent fires. Fuel fires spread very quickly and are
highly explosive.
PrEVENtION OF GaSOLINE FIrES
• Never fill your fuel tank with fuel indoors. (Examples include: base-
ment, garage, barn, shed, house, porch, etc.)
• Always fill fuel tank outside in a well ventilated area.
• Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel with the engine running. Stop
engine and allow to cool before filling.
• Never drain fuel from engine in an enclosed area.
• Always wipe up excess (spilled) fuel from engine before starting.
Clean up spilled fuel immediately.
• Allow spilled fuel to dry, after wiping and before starting.

• Allow fuel fumes/vapors to escape from the area before starting
engine.
• Test the fuel cap for proper installation before starting and using
engine.
• Always run the engine with fuel cap properly installed on the engine
and gas cap vent screw unscrewed.
• Replace fuel cap that allows gas to spill or leak.
• Never smoke while refilling engine fuel tank.
• Prevent fire and explosion caused by static electric discharge. Use
only non-metal, portable fuel containers approved by the Under-
writer's Laboratory (U.L.) or the American Society for Testing &
Materials (ASTM).
• Do not store engine with fuel in fuel tank indoors. Fuel and fuel
vapors are highly explosive.
• When storing, screw down gas cap vent screw tightly.
• Never pour fuel from engine fuel tank.
• Never siphon fuel by mouth to drain fuel tank.
• Always have an adult fill the fuel tank.
• Never allow an adult or anyone under the influence of drugs or
alcohol to fill engine.
• Never allow children to fill the engine.
WhEN StOrING GaSOLINE Or EquIPmENt WIth FuEL IN taNk
• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or other appliances
that have a pilot light or other ignition source because they can
ignite gasoline vapors.
BurNS aND FIrES
The muffler, muffler guard and other parts of the engine become
extremely hot during the operation of the engine. These parts remain
extremely hot after the engine has stopped.
PrEVENtION OF BurNS aND FIrES
• Never remove the muffler guard from the engine.
• Never touch the muffler guard because it is extremely hot and will
cause severe burns.
• Never touch parts of the engine that become hot after operation.
• Always keep materials and debris away from muffler guard and other
hot parts of the engine to avoid fires.
This engine is designed to operate using a catalytic converter which
contributes to the engine's compliance with the EPA.
