Safety Safety Symbols And Warnings The safety alert symbol is used to identify safety information about hazards that can result in personal injury. A signal word (DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION) is used with the alert symbol to indicate the likelihood and the potential severity of injury. In addition, a hazard symbol may be used to represent the type of hazard.
WARNING WARNING When Adding Fuel • Turn engine off and let engine cool at least 2 minutes before removing the gas cap. • Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated area. • Do not overfill fuel tank. Fill tank to approximately 1-1/2 inches below top of neck to allow for fuel expansion. • Keep gasoline away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources. • Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequently for cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.
WARNING Safety Running engines produce heat. Engine parts, especially muffler, become extremely hot. Severe thermal burns can occur on contact. Combustible debris, such as leaves, grass, brush, etc. can catch fire. • Allow muffler, engine cylinder and fins to cool before touching. • Remove accumulated debris from muffler area and cylinder area. • Install and maintain in working order a spark arrester before using equipment on forest-covered, grass-covered, brush-covered unimproved land.
