Safety Instruction
To ensure safe operation
Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide. Avoid
inhalation of exhaust gases. Never run the engine in a closed
garage or confined area.
Do not place anything on the engine, as it may create a fire
hazard.
The vertical type engine is equipped with a spark arrester. For
the horizontal type engine, a spark arrester is available as an
optional part. It is illegal in some areas to operate an engine
without a spark arrester. Check local laws and regulations
before operating.
The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot
for a while after stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch the
muffler while it is hot. To avoid severe burns or fire hazards, let
the engine cool before transporting it or storing it indoors.
