aircraft products or vehicles intended for use in competitive events. Misuse of this engine may result in death,
serious injury and/or property damage.
1. All users must understand the operation of all controls and learn how to stop the engine quickly in
case of emergency.

especially with the muffler.
a. Keep the engine at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from buildings and other equipment during operation.

brush-covered unimproved land.
3. The manufacturer of the equipment on which this engine is installed specifies the top speed at which the
engine will be operated. DO NOT exceed this speed.

and doors is not enough to ventilate the area.
Carbon monoxide is a colourless and odourless gas that is difficult to detect. Carbon monoxide poisoning results
from inhalation of the gas and may be lethal if left untreated. Evacuate all people to an area with clean air and seek
immediate medical attention for any person experiencing the following symptoms:
• Headache
• Confusion

• Weakness
• Fatigue
• Dizziness
• Unstable gait (stumbling around)

unintended purpose.
a. Do not tamper with governor spring, links or other parts to increase engine speed.
2. Maintain engine with care (see Maintenance).
3. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches from the engine before operation. A wrench or key that is left attached
to a rotating part of the engine increases the risk of personal injury.
