Important Safety Instructions

DANGER: Carbon Monoxide. Using an engine indoors can kill

you in minutes. Engine exhaust contains high levels of carbon

monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see or smell. You

may be breathing CO even if you do not smell engine exhaust.

WARNING: This product and its exhaust contain chemicals

known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth

defects and other reproductive harm.

• NEVER use an engine inside homes, garages, crawlspaces or

other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can

build up in these areas. Using a fan or opening windows and doors

does NOT supply enough fresh air.

• ONLY use outdoors and far away from open windows, doors and

vents. These openings can pull in engine exhaust.

• Even when the engine is used correctly, CO may leak into your

home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or battery backup CO

alarm in your house. Read and follow all directions for CO

alarm before using. If you feel sick, dizzy or weak at anytime,

move to fresh air immediately. See a doctor. You could have

carbon monoxide poisoning.

WARNING: RISK OF BURSTING

WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT

 • Over inflation of tires could

result in serious injury and

property damage.

 • Useatirepressuregauge

to check the tires pressure

before each use and while

inflating tires; see the tire

sidewall for the correct tire

pressure.

NOTE: Air tanks,

compressors and similar

equipmentusedtoinflate

tires can fill small tires similar

to these very rapidly. Adjust

pressure regulator on air

supply to no more than the

rating of the tire pressure.

Add air in small increments

andfrequentlyusethe

tire gauge to prevent over

inflation.

 • High-velocityfluidspray

directed at pneumatic tire

sidewalls (such as found

on automobiles, trailers and

the like) could damage the

sidewall resulting in serious

injury.

 • Onpressurewashersrated

above 1600 psi (11032kPa)

use the widest fan spray

(40º nozzle) and keep the

spray a minimum of 8"

(20 cm) from the pneumatic

tire sidewall. Do not aim

spray directly at the joint

between the tire and rim.

WARNING: RISK OF HOT SURFACES

WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT

 • Contactwithhotsurfaces,

such as engines exhaust
