Rapid retraction of the starter cord (kickback) will pull
your handand arm toward the engine faster than you
can let go. Broken bones, fractures, bruises, or sprains
could result.
STARTING ENGINE
1. Turn fuel shut-off valve to On
position.
2.
Cold engine:
Place lever in choke position.
Warm engine:
Place lever in full throttle/FAST position.
3. Pull the recoil starter until engine compression has become
difficult to pull. Let the recoil return to the home position, then
pull quickly to start the engine. Repeat steps as needed.
4. Gradually move lever to Fast position after engine starts and
warms up. Engine/equipment may be operated during warm
up period, but it may be necessary to leave choke partially on
until engine warms up.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT OVERFILL!
This equipment and/or its engine may include
evaporative emissions control system components,
required to meet EPA and/or CARB regulations, that
will only function properly when the fuel tank has
been filled to the recommended level. Overfilling
may cause permanent damage to evaporative
emissions control system components. Filling to the
recommended level ensures a vapor gap required to
allow for fuel expansion. Pay close attention while
filling the fuel tank to ensure that the recommended
fuel level inside the tank is not exceeded. Use a
portable gasoline container with an appropriately
sized dispensing spout when filling the tank. Do not
use a funnel or other device that obstructs the view
of the tank filling process.
3. Reinstall the fuel cap and tighten. Always clean up spilled fuel.

CLOSED
OPEN
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You can
be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel.
Use extreme care when handling gasoline.
Fill the fuel tank outdoors, never indoors. Gasoline
vapors can ignite if they collect inside an enclosure.
Explosion can result.
DO NOT OVERFILL. Check engine oil level daily and
add as needed.
1. The engine must be off and allowed to cool at least two minutes
before adding fuel.
2. Remove the fuel filler cap and fill the tank. (See engine manual
for fuel capacity, fuel recommendation, and location of fuel
cap.)
