Important! The following safety precautions must always be observed.
Hazard Symbols
Fuel (gasoline) is extremely flammable and its vapors can
explode if ignited. Store gasoline only in approved containers,
in well-ventilated, unoccupied approved areas, and away from
sparks or flames. Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is hot
or running. Do not start the engine near spilled fuel. Never use
the fuel as a cleaning agent
Engine components can get extremely hot from operation. To
prevent burns, do not touch the engine or related parts while the
engine is running or immediately after it is turned off. Never
operate the engine with any heat shields or guards removed.
Keep all guards in place when operating any piece of equipment
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from all rotating parts
Lethal Exhaust Gas: use only in well ventilated areas. Engine
exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide, which is
odorless, colorless, and can cause death if inhaled. Avoid
inhaling exhaust fumes, and never run the engine in a closed
building or confined area.
Never tamper with the governor components of settings to
increase the maximum speed. Severe personal injury and
damage to the engine or equipment can result if operated at
speed above maximum. Always obey the maximum speed
