fire hazard! Do not fill gas tank when the Engine is running. Do not operate if
gasoline has been spilled. Clean spilled gasoline before starting the Engine. Do not
operate near a pilot light or open flame.
Operate the engine in well-ventilated areas only. Carbon Monoxide is produced
during operation and is deadly in a closed environment. Early signs of Carbon Monox-
ide poisoning resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you develop
these symptoms, there may be inadequate ventilation in the work area or the engine
may not be working properly. Get fresh air immediately.
Avoid burns from the engine. Certain parts of the Engine become very hot during
use. Do not touch the Engine until it cools down.
install this product on a appropriate surface. Locate on a flat, level, and solid sur-
face that is capable of supporting the weight of the engine and the machinery that it
is powering.
do not operate the engine with the safety guards removed. While the engine is
running, do not attempt to reach around the safety guards for maintenance or any other
reason.
if the engine is installed indoors, exhaust fumes must be piped out of the building
using leak-free, heat-resistant piping. Pipes and silencer should not use any flam-
mable materials, nor should they be installed near the same. Engine exhaust fumes
should be within legal limits.
engine fuel and fumes are flammable, and potentially explosive. do not smoke,
or allow sparks, flames or other sources of ignition around the engine, fuel tanks,
or batteries. Use proper fuel storage and handling procedures. Always have multiple
ABC class fire extinguishers nearby.
never store fuel or other flammable materials near the engine.
keep hands, arms, long hair, loose clothing, and jewelry away from pulleys, belts,
and other moving parts. Be aware that when engine parts are moving fast they can-
not be seen clearly.
the engine can produce high noise levels. Prolonged exposure to noise levels
above 85 dBA is hazardous to hearing. Always wear ANSI-approved hearing protec-
tion when operating or working around the Engine when it is running.

not cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood
by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into
