Safety Information
For Your Safety!
These precautions should be followed at all times. Failure to follow these precautions could result
in injury to yourself and others.
Explosive Fuel can cause fires and
severe burns.
Stop engine before filling fuel tank.
WARNING
Explosive Fuel!
Gasoline is extremely flammable
and its vapors can explode if
ignited. Store gasoline only in
approved containers, in well
ventilated, unoccupied buildings,
away from sparks or flames. Do not
fill the fuel tank while the engine is
hot or running, since spilled fuel
could ignite if it comes in contact
with hot parts or sparks from
ignition. Do not start the engine
near spilled fuel. Never use
gasoline as a cleaning agent.
Rotating Parts can cause severe
injury.
Stay away while engine is in
operation.
WARNING
Rotating Parts!
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing
away from all moving parts to
prevent injury. Never operate the
engine with covers, shrouds, or
guards removed.
Hot Parts can cause severe burns.
Do not touch engine while operating
or just after stopping.
WARNING
Hot Parts!
Engine components can get
extremely hot from operation. To
prevent severe burns, do not touch
these areas while the engine is
running–or immediately after it is
turned off. Never operate the
engine with heat shields or guards
removed.
Electrical Shock can cause injury.
Do not touch wires while engine is
running.
CAUTION
Electrical Shock!
Never touch electrical wires or
components while the engine is
running. They can be sources of
electrical shock.
