11. If the equipment should start to
vibrate abnormally, STOP the
engine/motor and check immediately
for the cause. Vibration is generally a
warning of trouble.
12. Check fuel level before starting the
engine. Do not fill the gas tank
indoors. Wipe off any spilled gas
before starting the engine.
13. To reduce fire hazard, keep
engine/motor exterior free of oil, sol-
vent, or excessive grease.

on engine. Overspeeding the unit
severely shortens engine life and may
also be very hazardous.
15.

equipment is necessary to properly filter and purify the air to meet
minimal specifications for Grade D breathing as described in
Compressed Gas Association Commodity Specification G 7.1 - 1966,
OSHA 29 CFR 1910. 134, and/or Canadian Standards Associations
(CSA).
