UNDERSTANDING PROPANE
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR PROPANE UNITS
NOTE: Use propane only in containers speci cally designed and approved for this unit. Propane is a combustible gas, it is colorless and thus invisible to the naked eye. Propane has a harmless odorant added so that it is possible to smell it. The user should be familiar with the smell of propane (smells like sulfur or rotten eggs). If at any time the smell of propane is identi ed, turn o the engine. If the leak persists, remove the pro - pane canister. Never attempt to operate a unit that has a suspected leak. Always remove the propane canister from any unit that has a suspected leak.
CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD
Burning propane makes Carbon Monoxide (CO). CO is invisible, has no smell and can kill you. Operating your trimmer in an enclosed area can be dangerous.
1.Use only in well ventilated areas. If you experience headache, drowsiness, or nausea, turn unit o and get fresh air quickly.
