SAFETY INFORMATION

ENGINE SAFETY

DANGER



The engine fuel exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon

monoxide. This gas is colorless and odorless, and can

cause death if inhaled.



The engine of this equipment

requires an adequate free ﬂow

of cooling air. NEVER operate

this equipment in any enclosed

or narrow area where free ﬂow

of the air is restricted. If the air

ﬂow is restricted it will cause

injury to people and property

and serious damage to the

equipment or engine.



DO NOT place hands or fingers inside engine

compartment when engine is running.



NEVER operate the engine with heat shields or

guards removed.
