Engine Safety
DANGER: Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide
is odorless and colorless and can cause injury or death if inhaled. Do not use equipment
indoors without adequate ventilation. Refer to OSHA guidelines and regulations
concerning maximum levels of exposure to carbon monoxide gases and other hazards
associated with using internal combustion engines. It is highly recommended that a CO
(carbon monoxide) detector be used to warn the user if levels become unsafe.
Warning: Engine, exhaust system and hydraulic component temperatures could be in
excess of 200
F causing severe burns if touched.
