Safety Rules For Gasoline Engines; Symptoms Of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning; Adding Or Draining Fuel To Or From The Engine - Snap-On 870828 Manual De Instrucciones

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 GASOLINE ENGINES

Carbon monoxide is a product of incomplete combustion, such as exhaust
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 sit-
uation.
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 an enclosed area, such as a garage
(even if windows and doors are open). This also applies to the engine com-
partment of a recreational vehicle (RV).
The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Install a battery powered Carbon Monoxide (CO) detector near all bedrooms to
alert occupants of dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a
colorless, odorless, very poisonous gas.
DO NOT tamper with Evaporation and Exhaust Assembly in the generator.

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 fuels and occurs in exhaust fumes of fuel-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 gasoline engine, GET TO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY.

ADDING OR DRAINING FUEL TO OR FROM THE ENGINE

Fuel and fuel 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 fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in fuel tank.
• DO NOT fill or drain fuel tank inside enclosed structures. Accidental sparks
can result in fires or explosions leading to severe burns and even death.
