• Never start the machine if ice has formed in
any part of the equipment.
• Always operate the machine on a level sur-
face. If the engine is on an incline, it could
seize due to improper lubrication (even at the
maximum oil level).
• Never attempt to make any adjustments
while the engine (motor) is running (except
where specifically recommended by the manu-
facturer).
• Protective covers must always cover rotating
parts when the engine is running.
• Keep cooling air intake (recoil starter area)
and muffler side of the engine at least 3 feet
away from buildings, obstructions, and other
combustible objects.
• Keep the engine away from flammables and
other hazardous materials.
• Keep away from hot parts. The muffler and
other engine parts become very hot; use cau-
tion.
• Do not touch the spark plug and ignition
cable when starting and operating the engine.
• Check fuel hoses and joints for looseness and
fuel leakage before each use.
• Check bolts and nuts for looseness before
each use. A loose bolt or nut may cause serious
engine problems.
• Always refuel outdoors. Never refuel indoors
or in a poorly ventilated area.
• Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel
tank inside a building where ignition sources
are present, such as hot water and space heat-
ers, clothes dryers, and the like.
• If the fuel tank has to be drained, do this out-
doors.
• To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury,
handle fuel with care. It is highly flammable.
• Do not smoke while handling fuel.
• Add fuel before starting the engine. Never
remove the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel
while the engine is running or when the en-
gine is hot.
• Loosen fuel cap slowly to release pressure
and to keep fuel from escaping around the
cap.
• Replace all fuel tank and container caps se-
curely.
• Wipe spilled fuel from the unit. Move 30
feet away from refueling site before starting
engine.
• If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the
engine but move the machine away from the
area of spillage and avoid creating any source
of ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated.
• Never attempt to burn off spilled fuel under
any circumstances.
• Before storing, allow the engine to cool.
• Store fuel in a cool, well-ventilated area,
safely away from spark and/or flame-produc-
ing equipment.
• Store fuel in containers specifically designed
for this purpose.
• Empty fuel tank and restrain the unit from
moving before transporting in a vehicle.
• Make sure minimum clearance of 3 feet is
maintained from combustible materials.
SERVICE
• When servicing a product, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow Main-
tenance instructions may create a risk of injury.
• Service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance per-
formed by unqualified personnel may result in
a risk of injury.
• Disconnect the spark plug wire, open drain
valve to decompress tanks and allow water to
drain, and allow air compressor to become cool
to the touch before servicing. Turn pressure
regulator knob fully clockwise after shutting
off air compressor.
