Propane safety
WARNING: Read the warning instructions
that follow before you use the product.
• Propane is flammable and the fumes are explosive.
Be careful to prevent injury, fire and explosion.
• Read all instructions on the product and on the
propane tank.
• Do not change the propane control equipment.
Changes to the propane control equipment can
cause dangerous levels of engine emissions.
• Do not breathe in the fuel fumes. The fuel fumes are
poisonous and can cause injury. Make sure that the
airflow is sufficient.
• Do not start the engine in an area without sufficient
airflow. Propane is heavier than air and can
accumulate in low areas. Not sufficient airflow
increases the risk of fire or explosion from sparks,
and the risk of injury from the fumes.
• Do not smoke near the product, the engine or the
propane tank.
• Do not put hot objects near the propane or the
engine.
• Keep the product away from sparks or flames.
• Examine the propane supply system for leaks
regularly. If there are leaks, do not start the engine
until the leaks are repaired.
• Do not keep propane tanks in a building. Propane
tanks must only be indoors during operation of the
product.
• Keep propane tanks in a safe area with sufficient
airflow.
Exhaust fumes safety
WARNING: Read the warning instructions
that follow before you use the product.
• Long-term inhalation of exhaust fumes can cause
health problems.
• The exhaust fumes from the engine contain carbon
monoxide which is an odourless, poisonous and very
1212 - 002 - 24.10.2019
dangerous gas. To breathe carbon monoxide can
cause death. Because carbon monoxide is odourless
and cannot be seen, it is not possible to sense it. A
symptom of carbon monoxide poisoning is dizziness,
but it is possible that a person becomes unconscious
without warning if the quantity or concentration of
carbon monoxide is sufficient.
• Exhaust fumes that you can see or smell also
contain carbon monoxide.
• Do not use a combustion engine product indoors
and/or in areas that do not have sufficient airflow.
