Safety

Working on engines, and handling fuel and oil, involves real risks,
including fire, burns, injury and carbon monoxide poisoning. –
Never run a generator or engine indoors, in a garage or
near windows, doors or vents. – Store fuel only in approved containers,
away from heat, flames and living areas. – Disconnect the spark plug
before maintenance, and let engines cool before refueling. – Follow
local laws on fuel storage and on disposing of used oil.
