All engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing
carbon monoxide can cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, nau-
sea, confusion and eventually death.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that may be
present even if you do not see or smell any engine exhaust. Deadly
levels of carbon monoxide can collect rapidly, and you can quickly be
overcome and unable to save yourself. Also, deadly levels of carbon
monoxide can linger for hours or days in enclosed or poorly ventilated
areas. If you experience any symptoms of carbon monoxide poison-
ing, leave the area immediately, get fresh air and seek medical
treatment.
To prevent serious injury or death from carbon monoxide:
– Never run the vehicle in poorly ventilated or partially enclosed
areas such as garages, carports or barns. Even if you try to venti-
late engine exhaust with fans or open windows and doors, carbon
monoxide can rapidly reach dangerous levels.
– Never run the vehicle outdoors where engine exhaust can be
drawn into a building through openings such as windows and
doors.

Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive. Fuel vapors
can spread and be ignited by a spark or flame many feet away from
the engine. To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, follow these
instructions:
– Use only an approved red gasoline container to store fuel.
– Use only the BRP LinQ container to transport fuel on vehicle.
– This container must be firmly secured in the front storage compart-
ment using the LinQ system. No other red gasoline containers sold
on the market is recommended.
– Never carry gasoline container(s) or any dangerous liquids on the
cargo racks.
– Never fill the gasoline container on the vehicle. An electrical static
discharge may ignite the fuel.
– For refueling the vehicle, strictly adhere to instructions in Fuel .
– Never start or operate the engine if the fuel cap is not properly
installed.
Gasoline is poisonous and can cause injury or death.
– Never siphon gasoline by mouth.
– If you swallow gasoline, get any in your eye(s), or inhale gasoline
vapor, see your doctor immediately.
– If gasoline spills on you, wash with soap and water and change
your clothes.
