Maintenance Safety; Safety Precautions - Honda EU7000is Owner's Manual

MAINTENANCE SAFETY

Some of the most important safety precautions follow. However, we
cannot warn you of every conceivable hazard that can arise in
performing maintenance. Only you can decide whether or not you
should perform a given task.

Safety Precautions

Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or
repairs. This will eliminate several potential hazards:
– Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust.
Operate outside away from open windows or doors.
– Burns from hot parts.
Let the engine and exhaust system cool before touching.
– Injury from moving parts.
Do not run the engine unless instructed to do so.
• Read the instructions before you begin, and make sure you have the
tools and skills required.
• To reduce the possibility of fire or explosion, be careful when working
around gasoline. Use only a non-flammable solvent, not gasoline, to
clean parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames away from all fuel-
related parts.
