haust gases it must only be operated outdoors

this designated use shall be regarded as misuse.
This engine is intended solely for use in non-
commercial applications. Any other use (as well
as unauthorised conversions or add-ons) are re-
garded as contrary to the intended use and will
result in exclusion of the warranty as well as loss

thus decline any responsibility for damage and/or
injury suffered by the user or third parties.
