cause serious injury. Keep spray from contacting hands or

body.

If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any high

pressure spray injected into the skin must be surgically removed

within a few hours or gangrene may result. Doctors unfamiliar

with this type of injury should reference a knowledgeable

medical source. Such information is available from Deere &

risk of fire.

DO NOT operate the unit if gasoline is spilled. Wipe unit clean

and move the unit away from the spill. Avoid creating any

ignition until the gasoline has evaporated.
