For any questions regarding the hazard and safety notices listed in this manual or on the product, please call (800)
791-9458 Mon-Fri 9-5 EST before using the engine.
DANGER: CARBON MONOXIDE
Using an engine indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide
(CO). This is a poison gas you cannot see or smell. If you can smell the engine exhaust, you are breathing CO. But
even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO.
NEVER use an engine inside homes, garages, crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels of carbon
monoxide can build up in these areas. Using a fan, or opening windows and/or doors will NOT properly vent CO
nor supply adequate fresh air. ONLY use an engine outside and far away from windows, doors, and vents. These
openings can pull in engine exhaust.
Even if you use an engine correctly, CO may leak into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or
battery-backup CO alarm in the home. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the engine has been running,
move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
WARNING: The exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
WARNING: This engine may emit highly flammable and explosive gasoline vapors, which can cause severe
burns or even death if ignited. A nearby open flame can lead to explosion even if it isn't directly in contact with
gasoline.
