Safety Precautions

Indicate a possibility of invalid warranty and personal or
equipment damage if instructions are not followed.

Please pay special attention to the following:

Strictly set the engine according to the regulated power on the nameplate. Do not

overload, overrun the engine or run it with low load and at low speed in a long time.

Use regulated brand of gas and diesel. The fuel should be fully deposited and filtrated

before use. Keep clean the fuel filler, change the oil periodically.

Periodically check the installation, connection and the degree of tightness of the fixed

bolt. Tighten it if necessary.

Periodically clean the element of the air cleaner, change it when necessary.

The engine is air-cooled, so clean the radiator, wind cover and fan in time in order to

make the engine cool normally.

The operator should be familiar with the working principle and structure of the gasoline

engine, knowing how to make an emergent stop and the operation of all controlling parts.

Any one without training is forbidden to operate the engine. Keep periodical

maintenance. Solve problems in time. Do not run the engine in spite of malfunction.

Running the engine in a well-ventilated place, keep it at least one meter away from

building walls or other equipments, keep away from inflammables such as gasoline,

amtmatches and so on to avoid possibility of fire.

Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped, and in places refueling or

storing gasoline, no smoking and any flames or sparks.

Refuel the fuel tank not too full so as to avoid fuel’s spilling out. If there is spilled fuel

around, be sure to clean it thoroughly before starting.

10.

Do not run the engine in airtight or ill-ventilated places.

11.

The exhaust muffler is very hot during running the engine even after the engine stops.

Never touch it, or you may get burns. Transport or store the engine with it cooling down

entirely.
