Before Operation
PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
For your safety, and to maximize the service life of your equipment, it is very important
to take a few moments before you operate the engine to check its condition. Be sure to
take care of any problem you fi nd, or have your servicing dealer correct it, before you
operate the engine.
Improperly maintaining this engine or failing to correct a problem
before operation, could cause a malfunction in which you could
be seriously injured.
Always perform a pre-operation inspection before each operation
and correct any problem.
Before beginning your pre-operation checks, be sure the engine is level and the engine
switch is in the OFF position (per engine specifi cation).
Check the General Condition of the Engine
• Remove any excess dirt or debris, especially around the muffl er, recoil starter, and
cylinder head fi ns.
• Inspect for signs of damage and oil leakage.
• Be sure all shields and covers are in place. All nuts, bolts, and screws must be tight.
Check the Engine
• Check the engine oil level. Running the engine with a low oil level or improper oil
can cause engine damage. To avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown,
always check the engine oil on a level surface before startup.
