• Do not change the governor spring, links or other parts to increase engine
speed.
• Do not hit the flywheel with a hammer or hard object. This could result in failure
of the flywheel during operation.
• Replacement parts must be of the same design and installed in the same
position as the original parts. Other parts could result in damage or an injury.
When you move the location of equipment
• Make sure that the fuel tank is EMPTY or that the fuel shut-off valve is in the
CLOSED position.
When fuel or equipment is in storage with fuel in the fuel tank
• Because pilot lights or other ignition sources can cause explosions, keep fuel or
equipment away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or other appliances that
have pilot lights.
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are flammable and explosive. Fire or explosion could result in
burns or death.
Engine start-up causes spark that could result in a fire or explosion.
• If there is natural or LP gas leakage in the area, do not start the engine.
• Because vapors are flammable, do not use pressurized starter fluids.
WARNING
POISONOUS GAS HAZARD. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a
poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes. Although you do not smell exhaust
fumes, you could still be exposed to dangerous carbon monoxide gas. If you feel
sick, dizzy, or weak while you use this product, get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See
a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Carbon monoxide gas can collect in occupied spaces. To reduce the risk of
carbon monoxide gas, ONLY operate this product outdoors and far away from
windows, doors and vents.
• Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug-in carbon monoxide
alarms with battery back-up as specified by the manufacturer's instructions.
Smoke alarms cannot sense carbon monoxide gas.
• DO NOT operate this product in homes, garages, basements, crawlspaces,
sheds, or other closed spaces, even if you use fans or open doors and windows
for ventilation. After the operation of this product, carbon monoxide can quickly
collect in these spaces and stay for hours.
• ALWAYS put this product downwind and point the engine exhaust away from
occupied spaces.
WARNING
Fast retraction of the starter cord (kickback) will pull your hand and arm to the
engine faster than you can let go. Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains
could result.
• To prevent kickback when you start the engine, pull the starter cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull quickly.
• Before you start the engine, disconnect or remove all external equipment and
engine loads.
• Make sure that direct-coupled equipment components, such as, but not limited
to, blades, impellers, pulleys, and sprockets, are correctly attached.
WARNING
Rotating parts can entangle hands, feet, hair, clothing, or accessories and result
in traumatic amputation or laceration.
• Operate equipment with the guards correctly installed.
• Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.
• Remove jewelry and make sure that long hair is away from all rotating parts.
• Do not wear loose clothes or items that could become caught.
WARNING
During operation, the engine and muffler become hot. If you touch a hot engine,
thermal burns can occur.
Combustible materials, such as leaves, grass and brush, can catch fire.
• Before you touch the engine or muffler, stop the engine and wait two (2)
minutes. Make sure that the engine and muffler are safe to touch.
• Remove debris from the muffler and engine.
It is a violation of California Public Resource Code, Section 4442, to use or operate the
engine on any forest-covered, brush-covered, or grass-covered land unless the exhaust
system is equipped with a spark arrester, as defined in section 4442, maintained in
effective working order. Other states or federal jurisdictions may have similar laws;
reference Federal Regulation 36 CFR Part 261.52. Contact the original equipment
manufacturer, retailer, or dealer to obtain a spark arrester designed for the exhaust
system installed on this engine.
WARNING
Accidental engine spark can cause an electric shock or fire and could result in
entanglement, traumatic amputation or laceration.
Before you make adjustments or repairs:
• Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep it away from the spark plug.
• Disconnect the battery wire from the negative battery terminal (only engines with
electric start.)
• Use only the correct tools.
When you check for spark:
• Use an approved spark plug tester.
• Do not check for spark with the spark plug removed.
WARNING
Fuel vapors are flammable and explosive. Fire or explosion could result in burns
or death.
If you smell gas
• Do not start the engine.
• Do not switch on electrical switches.
• Do not use a phone in the vicinity.
• Evacuate the area.
• Contact the gas supplier or the fire department.
