Testing the Safety Start System

1. Avoid injury! Engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide and can cause serious illness or death.

   • Move the machine to an outside area before running the engine.
   • Do not run an engine in an enclosed area without adequate ventilation.
   • Connect a pipe extension to the engine exhaust pipe to direct the exhaust fumes out of the area.
   • Allow fresh outside air into the work area to clear the exhaust fumes out.
