2.11 ENGINE SAFETY
• Read and understand the operating
manual provided with the engine.
• Use proper tools to service engine.
• Do not run engine in an enclosed area. Exhaust
gases contain carbon monoxide, an odorless and
deadly poison.
• Store fuel in approved safety containers.
• Do not store fuel near an open flame.
Appliances such as a stove, furnace, or
water heater use a pilot light which can
create a spark.
• No smoking when filling the fuel tank.
• Do not remove fuel cap while engine is running.
• Do not refuel indoors where area is not well
ventilated. Outdoor refueling is preferred.
• Do not refuel while engine is running. Allow engine
to cool for 5 minutes before proceeding.
• Use fresh fuel. Stale fuel can gum carburetor and
cause leakage.
• Check fuel lines and fittings frequently for cracks or
leaks. Replace if necessary.
• Do not operate engine if fuel has spilled. Move
machine away. Avoid creating any ignition until the
fuel has evaporated.
• Do not run engine above rated speeds. This may
result in damage and injury.
• Do not tamper with the engine speed selected by
the original equipment manufacturer.
• Do not tamper with governor springs, governor
links or other parts which may increase the
governed engine speed.
• Do not strike flywheel with a hard object or metal
tool. This may cause it to shatter in operation.
• Keep cylinder fins and governor parts free of grass
and other debris which can affect engine speed.
• Do not operate engine with grass, leaves, dirt or
other combustible materials in muffler area.
• Do not operate engine without muffler.
WARNING: Hot Equipment
Do not touch muffler, cylinder or fins while
engine is running. Contact will cause
burns.

covered, brush covered, or grass
covered, unimproved land, unless a
spark arrester is installed on the muffler.
The arrester must be maintained in
effective working order by the operator.
In the State of California the above is required
by law (Section 4442 of the California Public
Resources Code). Other states may have similar
laws. Federal laws apply on federal lands.

If engine is equipped with a muffler deflector,
inspect periodically. Replace with correct part.

the spark plug or spark plug wire is removed.
