Before Starting the Engine
If you must operate engine in a building, be positive there is adequate ventilation. Either use an exhaust pipe extension to remove the exhaust fumes or open doors and windows to bring enough outside air into the area. 1. Check fuel gauge to be sure tractor has plenty of fuel. |

CAUTION:
Prevent asphyxiation. Engine exhaust fumes can cause sickness or death to you or someone else.
