• DO NOT
use this engine on any forest covered, brush
covered, or grass covered unimproved land unless a spark
arrester is installed on the muffler. The arrester must be
maintained in effective working order by the operator. In the
state of California, the above is required by law (Section
4442 of the California Public Resources Code). Other states
may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal land.
• DO NOT
touch hot muffler, cylinder or fins because contact
may cause burns.
• DO NOT
run engine with air cleaner or air cleaner cover
removed.
Be sure to:
•
Remove the wire from the spark plug when servicing
the engine or equipment to prevent accidental starting.
Disconnect the negative wire from the battery terminal if
equipped with a 12-volt starting system.
•
Keep cylinder fins and governor parts free of grass and
other debris which can affect engine speed.
•
Examine muffler periodically to be sure it is functioning
effectively. A worn or leaking muffler should be repaired or
replaced as necessary.
•
Use fresh gasoline. Stale fuel can gum carburetor and
cause leakage.
•
Check fuel lines and fittings frequently for cracks or leaks.
Replace if necessary.
