NOTE
Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous
carbon monoxide. This gas is colorless
and odorless, and can cause death if
inhaled. NEVER operate this equipment
in a confined area or enclosed structure
that does not provide ample free flow air.
Gasoline is extremely flammable, and its
vapors can cause an explosion if ignited.
DO NOT start the engine near spilled fuel
or combustible fluids.
DO NOT fill the fuel tank while the engine is running or
hot.  DO NOT overfill tank, since spilled fuel could ignite if
it comes into contact with hot engine parts or sparks from
the ignition system. Store fuel in approved containers, in
well-ventilated areas and away from sparks and flames.
Engine components can generate extreme
heat. To prevent burns, DO NOT touch these
areas while the engine is running or
immediately after operations. Never operate
the engine with heat shields or heat guards
removed.
