Clear the Work Area
• Clear the area of children, bystanders, and pets. At a minimum, keep all
children, bystanders, and pets outside a 15 m (50 ft.) radius; outside the
15 m (50 ft.) zone, there is still a risk of injury from thrown objects.
Bystanders should be encouraged to wear eye protection. If you are
approached, stop the engine.
• Avoid blowing debris towards people, pets, open windows, or vehicles
when using unit.
• Review area to be cleared. Look for potential hazards such as stones or
metal objects.

uneven or unstable surfaces. Do not work in odd positions or on ladders.
Do not over reach.
Avoid Hot Surfaces
• Keep exhaust area clear of flammable debris.
Avoid contact during and immediately after
operation.

EVAPORATIVE)
CARB And EPA Emissions Control Information
The emission control system for the
engine is EM (engine modification)
and, if the second to last character
of the Engine Family on the
Emission Control Information label
(sample below) is “B”, “C”, “K”, or
“T”, the emission control system is
EM and TWC (3-way catalyst). The
fuel tank/fuel line emission control
system is EVAP (evaporative emissions). Evaporative emissions for
California models are only applicable to fuel tanks.
