GENERAL SAFETY RULES

CARBON MONOXIDE

If it is necessary to run the engine in order
to carry out maintenance operation, make
sure that the area in which you are
operating is properly ventilated. Never run
the engine in enclosed spaces.
If it is necessary to work indoors, use an
exhaust evacuation system.
The exhaust fumes contain carbon
monoxide, a poisonous gas that can
cause loss of consciousness and even
death.
Carbon monoxide is both colorless and
odorless, and cannot be detected by
smell, vision, or any other sense. Avoid
breathing exhaust fumes under any
circumstances.

GASOLINE

Keep gasoline away from children. Gasoline
is also poisonous. Never attempt to siphon
gasoline using your mouth. Never allow
gasoline to contact your skin. If you should
accidentally spill gasoline on yourself, change
your clothes immediately and wash the area
upon which the gasoline was splashed
thoroughly with hot water and soap. Should
you accidentally swallow gasoline, do not
induce vomiting. Drink large quantities of clear
water or milk and immediately seek
professional medical assistance. Should you
accidentally get gasoline into your eyes, flush
with large quantities of cool, clear water and
immediately seek professional medical
assistance.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and
becomes explosive under certain
