SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Before operating the engine, read the Operator’s Manual
and become familiar with it and the equipment. Safe and
efficient operation can be achieved only if the equipment is
properly operated and maintained.
The following symbols, found throughout this manual, alert
you to potentially dangerous conditions to the operator,
service personnel, or the equipment.

CAUTION
practice that can result in personal injury or product or
property damage.
Fuels, electrical equipment, batteries, exhaust gases and
moving parts present potential hazards that can result in
severe personal injury. Take care in following these
recommended procedures. All local, state and federal codes
should be consulted and complied with.

FUEL SYSTEM
• DO NOT fill fuel tanks while engine is running.
• DO NOT smoke or use an open flame in the vicinity of
the engine or fuel tank. Internal combustion engine fuels
are highly flammable.
• Fuel line must be LP approved, adequately secured, and
free from leaks. Piping at the engine should be approved
flexible line. Do not use copper piping for flexible lines as
copper will harden and become brittle enough to break.
• Be sure all fuel supplies have a positive shut-off valve.
PROTECT AGAINST MOVING PARTS
• Do not wear loose clothing in the vicinity of moving parts,
such as PTO shafts, flywheels, blowers, couplings, fans
belts, etc.
• Keep your hands away from moving parts.
EXHAUST SYSTEM
• Exhaust products of any internal combustion engine are
toxic and can cause injury, or death if inhaled. When
operating the engine in a confined area, make sure the
ventilation system is operating properly.
• DO NOT use exhaust gases to heat a compartment.
• Make sure that your exhaust system is free of leaks.
Make sure that exhaust manifolds are secure and are
not warped by bolts unevenly torqued.
GENERAL
• Provide appropriate fire extinguishers and install in
convenient locations. Use an extinguisher rated ABC by
NFPA.
• Make sure that all fasteners on the engine are secure
and accurately torqued. Keep guards in position over fans,
driving belts, etc.
• If it is necessary to make adjustments while the engine
is running, use extreme caution when close to hot
exhausts, moving parts, etc.
• Used engine oils have been identified by some state or
federal agencies as causing cancer or reproductive
toxicity. When checking or changing engine oil, take care
not to ingest, breathe the fumes, or contact used oil.
• Do not work on this equipment when mentally or
physically fatigued, or after consuming any alcohol or
drug that makes the operation of equipment unsafe.
EXHAUST GAS IS DEADLY!
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas
that can cause unconsciousness and death. It is an
odorless and colorless gas formed during combustion of
hydrocarbon fuels. Symptoms of carbon monoxide
poisoning are:
• Dizziness
• Headache
• Weakness and Sleepiness
• Throbbing in Temples
If you experience any of these symptoms, get out into fresh
air immediately, shut down the unit and do not use it until it
has been inspected.
The best protection against carbon monoxide inhalation is
proper installation and regular, frequent inspections of the
complete exhaust system. If you notice a change in the
sound or appearance of exhaust system, shut the unit down
immediately and have it inspected and repaired at once by
a competent mechanic.
KEEP THE UNIT AND SURROUNDING AREA CLEAN
• Make sure that oily rags are not left on or near the engine.
• Remove all unnecessary grease and oil from the unit.
Accumulated grease and oil can cause overheating and
subsequent engine damage and present a potential fire
hazard.
• Vomiting
• Muscular Twitching

SAFETY INFORMATION
For Your Safety!
These safety precautions should be followed at all times. Failure to follow
these safety precautions could result in injury to yourself and others.
Accidental Starts!
Before servicing the engine or
equipment, always disconnect
the spark plug lead to prevent
the engine from starting accidently.
Ground the lead to prevent sparks that
could cause fires.
On engines equipped with a 12-volt
battery and/or electric start, disconnect
the battery cables from the battery.
Always disconnect the negative (-) cable
first.
Before disconnecting the negative (-)
ground cable, make sure all switches
are OFF. If ON, a spark will occur at the
ground cable terminal which could
cause an explosion if hydrogen gas or
fuel vapors are present.
WARNING: Over-speed is
!
Hazardous!
Never tamper with the govenor
components or settings to increase the
maximum speed. Severe personal injury
and damage to the engine or equipment
can result if operated at speed above
maximum ratings.
Explosive Fuel
LPG is extremely flammable and is
heavier than air and tends to settle in
low areas where a spark or flame could
ignite the gas. Do not start or operate
this engine in a poorly ventilated area
where leaking gas could accumulate
and endanger the safety of persons in
the area.
To insure personal safety, installation
and repair of LPG fuel supply systems
must be performed only by qualified LPG
system technicians. Improperly installed
and maintained LPG equipment could
cause fuel supply system or other
components to malfunction, causing gas
leaks.
Observe federal, state and local laws
governing LPG fuel and systems.
CAUTION: High Voltage!
!
Never touch electrical wires or
components while the engine is running.
They can be sources of electrical shock
which could cause severe injury or
burns.

SAFETY INFORMATION CONTINUED
Lethal Exhaust Gases!
Engine exhaust gases contain
poisonous carbon monoxide. Carbon
monoxide is odorless, colorless, and
can cause death if inhaled. Avoid
inhaling exhaust fumes, and never run
the engine in a closed building or
confined area.
Rotating Parts!
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing
away from all moving parts to prevent
injury. Never operate the engine with
covers, shrouds, or guards removed.
Hot Parts!
The crankcase, cylinder head, exhaust
system, and other components can
get extremely hot from operation. To
prevent severe burns, do not touch
these areas while the engine is running
- or immediately after it is turned off.
Never operate the engine with heat
shields or guards removed.
WARNING
The 120V A.C. starter is
equipped with a three-wire
power cord and plug, and is
designed to operate on
120V A.C. household current. The starter must be
properly grounded at all
times to avoid the possibility of injury or death from
electrical shock. Always use
a three-wire ground fault interrupted system. 715432
