SPECIAL SAFETY WARNINGS
FOR GAS POWERHEADS
I _,
WARNING:
Gasoline is highly flammable, and its vapors
,m&
can explode if ignited. Take the following precautions:
• Store fuel only in containers specifically designed and approved
for the storage of such materials.
• Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before filling the fuel tank.
Never remove the cap of the fuel tank, or add fuel, when the engine is
hot. Never operate the unit without the fuel cap securely in place.
Loosen the fuel tank cap slowly to relieve any pressure in the tank.
• Avoid creating a source of ignition for spilled fuel. Do not start the
engine until fuel vapors dissipate.
• Move the unit at least 30 feet (9.1 m) from the fueling source and site
before starting the engine. Do not smoke. Keep sparks and open
flames away from the area while adding fuel or operating the unit.
• Never start or run the unit inside a closed room or building.
Breathing exhaust fumes can kill. Operate this unit only in a well
ventilated area outdoors.
SAFETY WARNINGS
FOR ELECTRIC POWERHEADS
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, use
only extension cords approved for outdoor use, such as an
extension cord of cord type SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-
A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-W or SJTOW-A. Extension
cords are available from your local retailer. Use only round-
acketed extens on cords approved for outdoor use.
CORD SETS: Make sure your cord set is in good condition. When
using a cord set, be sure to use a cord that is heavy enough to
carry the current that your unit will draw. An undersized cord set
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating.
See the operator's manual for the unit that will power
this attachment
for the recommended
cord size.
• Inspect all extension cords and the unit power connection
periodically.
Look closely for deterioration,
cuts or cracks in the
insulation. Also inspect the connections for damage. Replace the
cords if any defects or damage appear.
• Prevent disconnection
of the electric powerhead from extension
cord during operation by using a plug-receptacle
retaining strap,
connector, or by making a knot as shown below:
