General Safety Rules
5
Gasoline is a highly flammable liquid. Gasoline also gives off flammable vapour that can be
easily ignited and cause a fire or explosion. Never overlook the hazards of gasoline. Always
follow these precautions:
A.
Never run the engine in an enclosed area or without proper ventilation as the exhaust
from the engine contains carbon monoxide, which is an odourless, tasteless, and a deadly
poisonous gas.
B.
Store all fuel and oil in containers specifically designed and approved for this purpose and
keep away from heat and open flame, and out of the reach of children.
C.
Replace rubber fuel lines and grommets when worn or damaged and after 5 years of use.
D.
Fill the gasoline tank outdoors with the engine off and allow the engine to cool completely.
Don't handle gasoline if you or anyone nearby is smoking, or if you're near anything that
could cause it to ignite or explode. Reinstall the fuel tank cap and fuel container cap
securely.
E.
If you spill gasoline, do not attempt to start the engine. Move the machine away from the
area of the spill and avoid creating any source of ignition until the gas vapours have
dissipated. Wipe up any spilled fuel to prevent a fire hazard and properly dispose of the
waste.
F.
Allow the engine to cool completely before storing in any enclosure. Never store a machine
that has gas in the tank, or a fuel container, near an open flame or spark such as a water
heater, space heater, clothes dryer or furnace.
G.
Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine running. Shut down the engine,
disconnect the spark plug wire, keeping it away from the spark plug to prevent accidental
starting, wait 5 minutes before making adjustments or repairs.
H.
Never tamper with the engine’s governor setting. The governor controls the maximum
safe operation speed and protects the engine. Over-speeding the engine is dangerous and
will cause damage to the engine and to the other moving parts of the machine. If required,
see your authorized dealer for engine governor adjustments. I.
Keep combustible
substances away from the engine when it is hot.
J.
Never cover the machine while the muffler is still hot.
K.
Do not operate the engine with the air cleaner or the carburettor air intake cover removed.
Removal of such parts could create a fire hazard. Do not use flammable solutions to clean
the air filter.
L.
The muffler and engine become very hot and can cause a severe burn; do not touch.
