GENERAL SAFETY RULES
For any questions regarding the hazard and safety notices listed in this manual or on the product, please
call [phone] Mon-Fri 9-5 EST before using the engine.
DANGER: CARBON MONOXIDE
Using an engine indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide (CO). This is a poison gas you cannot see or smell. If you can smell the engine exhaust, you are
breathing CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO.
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/or doors will NOT
properly vent CO nor supply adequate fresh air. ONLY use an engine outside and far away from windows,
doors, and vents. These openings can pull in engine exhaust.
Even if you use an engine correctly, CO may leak into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or
battery-backup CO alarm in the home. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the engine has been
running, move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
WARNING: The exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
WARNING: This engine may emit highly flammable and explosive gasoline vapors, which can cause
severe burns or even death if ignited. A nearby open flame can lead to explosion even if it isn’t directly in
contact with gasoline.
•Do not operate near an open flame.
•Do not smoke near the engine.
•Always operate on a firm, level surface.
•Always turn engine off before refueling. Allow engine to cool for at least 2 minutes before
removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank.
•Do not overfill fuel tank. Gasoline may expand during operation. Do not fill to the top of the tank.
Allow for expansion.
•Always check for spilled fuel before operating.
•Empty fuel tank and carburetor bowl before storing or transporting the engine.
WARNING: This engine produces heat when running. Temperatures near exhaust can exceed 1500F
(650C).
Do not touch hot surfaces. Pay attention to warning labels on the engine identifying hot parts of the
machine.
Allow engine to cool down after use before touching engine or areas of the engine that become hot during
use.
CAUTION: Misuse of this engine can damage it or shorten its life.
Only use engine for its intended purposes.
