Fuel fires can spread quickly and even can be explosive!
Never use fuel when a spark or flame may be present.
Never use fuel where a potential source of ignition could
occur. (Examples include:
heaters, clothes dryer, electric motors, etc). Keep flames
and sparks away from engine and fuel at all times to
prevent fires.

BECOME EXTREMELY HOT DURING OPERATION.
THESE PARTS REMAIN EXTREMELY HOT EVEN
AFTER ENGINE HAS STOPPED.
PREVENTION OF BURNS AND FIRES

 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.
WARNING CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
Fuel driven engines contain carbon monoxide in their
exhaust. Even if you do not see or smell carbon
monoxide; the deadly, colorless, tasteless, odorless gas
may be present in the exhaust. Any enclosed areas of
poor ventilation can potentially house deadly levels of
carbon monoxide for days.
carbon monoxide can cause headaches, drowsiness,
nausea, dizziness, confusion and eventually death. If
you experience any of these symptoms, seek fresh
air and medical attention immediately.
PREVENTING CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
 Never run the engine indoors.
 Carbon monoxide can reach dangerous levels very
quickly. Never try to ventilate engine exhaust
indoors.
 Never run engine outdoors where exhaust fumes
may be pulled into a building.
 Exhaust fumes are trapped easily and may not
disperse. Never run engine outdoors in a poorly
ventilated area (Examples include: hilly terrain,
thickets or a large hole you are working in.)
 Never run engine in an enclosed or partially enclosed
area such as: tents, open garages, car ports,
buildings that are enclosed on one or more sides, or
basements.
 Always point the exhaust and muffler 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.
