DANGER:
 Long or continuous exposure to high noise levels may cause permanent hearing loss. Always wear hearing
protection while using this engine.
 Injury to the eyes and/or body can occur if protective clothing and/or equipment is not worn while using this
engine. Always wear safety goggles and safety clothing while using this engine.
 Severe burn or injury could occur if you touch the hot muffler or exhaust pipe. DO NOT TOUCH THE HOT
MUFFLER OR EXHAUST PIPE.
 Any alterations or modifications of this engine could result in damage to the engine or injury to the operator or
other bystanders. Alterations or modifications not authorized by the manufacturer voids any and all warranties and
liabilities.
 To avoid injury or property damage, do not leave the engine where it can be tampered with or started by persons
untrained in its operation. You must have training in the operation of this engine before using it. DO NOT leave
the engine running unattended.
 Substantial damage to the floor, the engine, or personnel may result if the engine is operated with the pad off
center, damaged or missing. Do not operate the engine if the pad is off center, damaged or missing.
 Operating an engine that has loose parts could result in injury or property damage. Do not operate this engine if
there are loose parts. Inspect the engine for loose parts frequently. This will promote safe operation and a long life
for the engine.
 Vibration from engine may cause numbness or tingling of the fingers in certain people. Smoking, dampness, diet,
and heredity may contribute to the symptoms. Wearing warm clothing, gloves, exercising and refraining from
smoking can reduce the effects of vibration. If the symptoms still persist, discontinue operation of the engine.
WARNING:
 Overfilling the propane cylinder is the number one cause of problems with a propane engine. This can cause the
engine to run poorly or not at all. In addition, overfilling allows liquid propane to enter the fuel control system,
possibly ruining the lock off / regulator assembly. This voids the warranty on affected parts of the engine. To
avoid problems, read and understand fully, the section "Filling and Storing Propane Cylinders."
 OVERHEATING is a major cause of engine failure. Keep the cooling air bonnet filter clean. Protect your
engine; don't allow wax dust/lint to build up on the cooling fins of the engine cylinder(s). A good high pressure
spray wash directed at the fins when the engine is cold will prevent this from happening.
 LOW OIL AND DIRTY OIL account for most of the other failures. It is recommended to change the oil on a
regular schedule, perhaps exceeding that which is found in the engine manufacturers' manual. Checking the oil
daily, before putting the engine to work is a good habit to get into and could save you the downtime and expense
of replacing the engine due to lack of lubrication. AFTER AN OIL CHANGE, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE
REPLACED THE OIL SUPPLY BEFORE RESTARTING THE ENGINE.
WARNING:
It is the owner/operator's responsibility to ensure that the air-exchange system installed in any location where a
propane powered engine is being operated is of sufficient capacity and quality to support the use of a propane
powered engine. OSHA and other County, State, or Federal Agencies publish guidelines on this subject that are
most readily found in the possession of the respective owners and/or parent companies of any location or chain of
locations. Failure on the part of the owner/operator to ensure that a propane powered engine can be operated
safely in a given location may lead to injury, sickness or even loss of life.
