cause death if inhaled. NEVER operate
this equipment in a confined area or
enclosed structure that does not provide

Gasoline is extremely flammable, and
its vapors can cause an explosion if
ignited. DO NOT start the engine near
spilled fuel or combustible fluids.

DO NOT fill the fuel tank while the engine is running or
hot. DO NOT overfill tank, since spilled fuel could ignite if
it comes into contact with hot engine parts or sparks from
the ignition system. Store fuel in approved containers, in
well-ventilated areas and away from sparks and flames.

Engine components can generate extreme
heat. To prevent burns, DO NOT touch
these areas while the engine is running or
immediately after operations. Never
operate the engine with heat shields or heat
