carbon monoxide, a colorless and
odorless gas. Breathing exhaust
can cause loss of consciousness
and may lead to death.
• If you run the engine in an area
that is confined, or even
partially enclosed, the air can
become contaminated with a
dangerous amount of exhaust
gas. To keep exhaust gas from
building up, provide adequate
ventilation.
