enclosed or narrow area
where free flow of the air is
restricted. If the air flow is
restricted it will cause serious
damage to the welder/

cause injury to people.

generator's engine gives off
DEADLY carbon monoxide
gas.
High Temperatures Allow the engine to cool before
adding fuel or performing service and maintenance
functions. Contact with
hot
components can cause serious
burns.
