WARNING

EWB00072

Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

All engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide,

a deadly gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can

cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, nau-

sea, confusion, and eventually death.

Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odorless,

tasteless gas which may be present even if you

do not see or smell any engine exhaust. Deadly

levels of carbon monoxide can collect rapidly

and you can quickly be overcome and unable

to save yours elf. Als o , de ad l y le ve ls of ca rbo n

monoxide can linger for hours or days in en-

2-4

closed or poorly ventilated areas. If you experi-

ence any symptoms of carbon monoxide

poisoning, leave the area immediately, get

fresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL TREATMENT.

● Do not run engine indoors. Even if you try to

ventilate engine exhaust with fans or open

windows and doors, carbon monoxide can

rapidly reach dangerous levels.

● Do not run engine in poorly ventilated or par-

tially enclosed areas such as barns, garages,

or carports.

● Do not run engine outdoors where engine

exhaust can be drawn into a building

through openings such as windows and

doors.

WARNING

EWB02591

When transporting the ATV in another vehicle,

be sure it is kept upright and that the fuel cock

is in the “OFF” position. Otherwise, fuel may

leak out of the carburetor or fuel tank.
