5 Safety Information/General Precautions 5 SAFETY INFORMATION/GENERAL PRECAUTIONS 5.1 Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning All engine exhaust contains a deadly gas known as carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that may exist even though you may not see or smell engine exhaust. Breathing carbon monoxide can result in headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confusion and could eventually lead to death. Lethal levels of carbon monoxide can collect quickly and exist for long periods of time when not properly ventilated. Always run the ROXOR in a well ventilated or open area. If you have symptoms that you think could be a result of carbon monoxide poisoning, leave the area right away, and call or go to the emergency room. If you keep breathing carbon monoxide fumes, you may pass out and die. Avoid running the engine in garages, carports or barns that do not have proper ventilation. Avoid running the engine anywhere that may allow exhaust gases to be drawn into a building through open doors, windows or vents resulting in the carbon monoxide poisoning of yourself or others.

5.2 Avoid Diesel Fuel Hazards Diesel fuel is widely regarded as safe to handle and store in its liquid form. However, diesel fuel in its vapor form can be dangerous, especially at temperatures above 100°F (38°C). The vaporization rate of diesel fuel increases as the temperature increases. In the presence of a vapor accelerant such as fan forced air or oxygen, the diesel fuel can begin to vaporize even faster. Help reduce the risk of diesel fuel hazards by following these instructions. l

Strictly adhere to the fueling instructions in section 14.2 Fueling Procedure. Never start or operate the engine if the fuel cap is not properly installed. Use only an approved (yellow) diesel fuel container to store and transfer diesel fuel.
All fuel handling must take place in a well-ventilated area. Avoid heat, flames and other sources of ignition, avoid inhalation of vapors and contact with skin and eyes, do not siphon diesel fuel by mouth, never fill a fuel container inside the ROXOR as the interior surfaces are coated, acting as an insulator and allowing static electricity to build up, help guard against static discharges by always filling approved containers on the ground, do not allow anyone to remain in the ROXOR while fueling, an occupant may not be able to leave the area quickly in an emergency, failure to follow these warnings may result in severe injury or death.
