ENGINE EMISSIONS AND CARBON MONOXIDE SAFETY DANGER All engines powered by by LPG (Liquid Propane Gas), including this engine, Carbon Monoxide (CO). it is a FATAL POSION gas that is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and non-irritating. It is produced by incomplete combustion of carbonaceous material such as LPG.
CO Safety Equipment Available WerkMaster propane machines are equipped with a catalytic muffler and an ACCU-Sense monitoring system on the Stealth and an AUTO-Sense monitoring system on the Spectre to reduce the CO emissions and promote a safer work environment.
The STEALTH and SPECTRE feature a key switch ignition. Engine Ignition Switch For the STEALTH: START: Turn the key clockwise to START to engage the engine starter • motor. Once the engine starts release the key. ALWAYS start the machine with the bail throttle in the SLOW IDLE position.
The engine throttle controls the engine speed. To increase the engine speed, move the hand lever forward. For the idle position pull the lever back.

OIL: The light will come on when there is low oil pressure. If the engine looses oil pressure, the engine shuts down until the condition is corrected. The light comes on each time the engine is stopped. TILT/IDLE: The light will come on when the machine is tilted to the pad change position and the engine shuts down.
Engines tend to go to a lean burn if allowed to idle for even short periods. Even at high idle speeds most engines will continue to lean downward. it is always best to shut the engine off when it is not being used to do work. Remember, the engine is always creating emissions as long as it is running.
