garages, sheds, or other semi-enclosed spaces. These spaces can trap poisonous gases.

engine. Do not allow debris to accumulate and block airflow.
Transporting. When transporting, take precautions to make sure Hydraulic Power Pack will not tip over and cause a
fuel leak hazard. Tie down in upright position during transportation. Where engine includes a fuel shut-off, shut
off fuel.
