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

NEVER operate the engine with heat shields or

guards removed.

Keep ﬁngers, hands hair and clothing away
