The DuoScreed engine requires an adequate free flow of

narrow area where free flow of the air
is restricted. If the air flow is restricted
it will cause serious damage to the
DuoScreed or engine and may cause
injury to people. Remember the
DuoScreed's engine gives off DEADLY
carbon monoxide gas.
■ High Temperatures
– Allow the engine to cool before adding
fuel or performing service and maintenance functions. Contact
