Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard
Never store the equipment with gasoline in the tank inside a
building where fumes may reach an open flame, spark or high
temperature source.
Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
To prevent a fire hazard, keep the weed mower clean and free of
grass, leaves or excessive grease. Pay special attention to the
engine, muffler, upper cutter deck surfaces and the belt and pulley
areas. Also pay attention to gasoline storage areas. Do not leave
containers of vegetable matter in or near a building.
If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors, with
a cold engine.
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a colorless and
odorless gas. Breathing exhaust can cause loss of consciousness and
may lead to death.
If you run the engine in an area that is confined or even partially
enclosed, the air you breathe could contain a dangerous amount of
exhaust gas. To keep exhaust gas from building up, provide
adequate ventilation.
Replace faulty muffler.
Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous
carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
