Accidental Starts!
Disabling engine. Accidental
starting can cause severe injury or
death. Before working on the engine
or equipment, disable the engine as
follows: 1) Disconnect the spark plug
lead(s). 2) Disconnect negative (-)
ba ery cable from ba ery. Lethal Exhaust Gases!
Engine exhaust gases contain
poisonous carbon monoxide. Carbon
monoxide is odorless, colorless, and can
cause death if inhaled. Avoid inhaling
exhaust fumes, and never run the
engine in a closed building or confined
area. Explosive Gas!
Ba eries produce explosive hydrogen
gas while being charged. To prevent a
fire or explosion, charge ba eries only
in well ventilated areas. Keep sparks,
open flames, and other sources of
ignition away from the ba ery at all
times. Keep ba eries out of the reach
of children. Remove all jewelry when
servicing ba eries.
Before disconnecting the negative
(-) ground cable, make sure all switches
are OFF. If ON, a spark will occur at
the ground cable terminal which could
cause an explosion if hydrogen gas or
gasoline vapors are present.
