4. HOW TO OPERATE

Alcohol
Never operate the engine while you are under the influence of alcohol or when
you are ill or feel unwell as this results in accidents.
Exhaust Gas Poisoning
Be sure to establish good ventilation in the engine room with windows,
vents, or other ventilation equipment. Check again during operation
to be sure that ventilation is good. Exhaust gas contains poisonous
carbon monoxide and should not be inhaled.

PTO-pulley, etc.) during operation or let your clothing get caught in
them as this can result in injury.

Check before starting the engine to see that any tools or cloths used
in maintenance have been removed from the area.
