Safety While Working; Fire Prevention; Ventilation; Self-Protection - Yamaha F30A Service Manual

Safety while working

To prevent an accident or injury and to
ensure quality service, follow the safety pro-
cedures provided below.

Fire prevention

Gasoline is highly flammable.
Keep gasoline and all flammable products
away from heat, sparks, and open flames.

Ventilation

Gasoline vapor and exhaust gas are heavier
than air and extremely poisonous. If inhaled
in large quantities, they may cause loss of
consciousness and death within a short time.
When test running an engine indoors (e.g., in
a water tank), be sure to do so where ade-
quate ventilation can be maintained.

Self-protection

Protect your eyes by wearing safety glasses
or safety goggles during all operations involv-
ing drilling and grinding, or when using an air
compressor.
Protect your hands and feet by wearing pro-
tective gloves and safety shoes when neces-
sary.
