General Safety
Carbon Monoxide
If the engine must be running to do some work, make sure
the area is well ventilated. Never run the engine in an en
closed area.
~s
poisonous carbon monoxide
gas that can cause loss of consciousness and may
~todeath.
Run the engine in an open area or with an exhaust evacua
tion system in an enclosed area.
Gasoline
Work in a well ventilated area. Keep cigarettes, flames or
sparks away from the work area or where gasoline is
stored.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive
under certain conditions. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF
, I
CHILDREN.
Hot Components
Engine and exhaust system parts become very hot
I
and remain hot for some time after the engine is run.
Wear insulated gloves or wait until the engine and
exhaust system have cooled before handling these
Lparts.
Battery Hydrogen Gas & Electrolyte
• The battery gives off explosive gases; keep sparks,
flames and cigarettes away. Provide adequate venti
lation when charging.
• The battery contains sulfuric acid (electrolyte). Con
tact with skin or eyes may cause severe burns. Wear
protective clothing and a face shield.
- If electrolyte gets on your skin, flush with water.
- If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush with water
for at least 15 minutes and call a physician.
• Electrolyte is poisonous.
- If swallowed, drink large quantities of water or
I
,
milk and follow with milk of magnesia or vegeta
ble oil and call a physician. KEEP OUT OF REACH

Used Engine/Transmission Oil
• Used engine oil (or transmission oil in two-strokesl
may cause skin cancer if repeatedly left in contact
with the skin for prolonged periods. Although this is
unlikely unless you handle used oil on a daily basis, it
is still advisable to thoroughly wash your hands with
soap and water as soon as possible after handling
used oil. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Brake Dust
Never use an air hose or dry brush to clean brake assemb
lies. Use an OSHA-approved vacuum cleaner or alternate
method approved by OSHA, designed to minimize the
hazard caused by airborne asbestos fibers.
Inhaled asbestos fibers have been found to cause
"--- respiratory disease and cancer.
Coolant
Under some conditions, the ethylene glycol in engine cool
ant is combustible and its flame is not visible. If the ethyl
ene glycol does ignite, you will not see any flame, but you
can be burned.
•
Avoid spilling engine coolant on the exhaust system
or engine parts. They may be hot enough to cause
the coolant to ignite and burn without a visible
flame.
•
Coolant (ethylene glycol) can cause some skin irrita
tion and is poisonous if swallowed. KEEP OUT OF
REACH OF CHILDREN.
•
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is
hot. The coolant is under pressure and could scald
you.
•
Keep hands and clothing away from the cooling fan,
as it starts automatically.
' I
If it contacts your skin, wash the affected areas immedi
ately with soap and water. If it contacts your eyes, flush
them thoroughly with fresh water and get immediate medi
cal attention. If it is swallowed, the victim must be forced
to vomit then rinse mouth and throat with fresh water
before obtaining medical attention. Because of these dan
gers, always store coolant in a safe place, away from the
reach of children.
