materials away from the exhaust pipe
while the engine is running. The
exhaust gas is very hot.

on easy-burning ground such as
lawn, leaves, sheets, and rags,
especially in summer.

damages, observe the followings
precautions:

fuel level. Running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire, creating
an excessive load on the three-way
catalytic converter.

and low idle speed for a long time.
●
Avoid running the engine in over
speed mode.
