resulting in serious injury.
When starting engine, pull cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid
kickback.
Never start or stop engine with electrical devices
plugged in and turned on.
If engine fails to start after 3 pulls,
or if unit shut down during operation, make sure

level in crankcase. This unit may be equipped
with a low oil protection device. If so, oil must be
checked at proper level for engine to start and
run.
