BASIC ENGINE
WARNING
Add fuel to the tank only when the engine is
stopped and has cooled down. In the event
of a fuel spill,
DO NOT attempt to start the
engine until the fuel residue has been
completely wiped up and the area
surrounding the engine is dry.
Engine components can generate extreme
heat. To prevent burns,
DO NOT touch these
areas while the engine is running or
immediately after operating.
