DANGER! Never operate an engine with a fuel or oil leak. The leaking
fuel or oil could potentially come in contact with hot surfaces and ignite
into flames.
WARNING! Do not operate engine without proper and operational
spark arrester/muffler. Sparks emitted from the engine exhaust could
ignite surrounding materials, causing serious injury or death.
CAUTION! EPA Compliant Gas Tanks Only: Always relieve all fuel
pressure inside the tank prior to filling or connecting fuel fittings. Fail-
ure to do so may result in fuel spillage.
CAUTION! EPA Compliant Gas Tanks Only: Disconnect the fuel tank
when not in use, or engine flooding or fuel spillage may result.
