2. Caution must be used if adding electrical accessories. If these accessories exceed the capacity of the
machineÕs electrical system, an electric failure could result, which could cause a dangerous loss of
lights or engine power.

Gasoline and exhaust gas

1. GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE:
a. Always turn off the engine when refueling.
b. Take care not to spill any gasoline on the engine or exhaust system when refueling.
c. Never refuel while smoking or in the vicinity of an open flame.
2. Never start the engine or let it run for any length of time in a closed area. The exhaust fumes are poi-
sonous and may cause loss of consciousness and death within a short time. Always operate your ma-
chine in an area that has adequate ventilation.
3. Always turn off the engine before leaving the machine unattended and remove the ignition key. When
parking the machine, note the following:
a. The engine and exhaust system may be hot. Park the machine in a place where pedestrians or chil-
dren are not likely to touch these hot areas.
b. Do not park the machine on a slope or soft ground; the machine may fall over.
c. Do not park the machine near a flammable source, e.g. a kerosene heater, or near an open flame.
The machine could catch fire.
4. When transporting the machine in another vehicle, be sure it is kept upright and that the fuel cock is
turned to ÒONÓ or ÒRESÓ (for vacuum type)/ÒOFFÓ (for manual type). If it should lean over, gasoline may
leak out of the carburetor or fuel tank.
5. If you should swallow any gasoline, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or allow gasoline to get in your eyes,
see your doctor immediately. If any gasoline spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash it off with
soap and water and change your clothes.
