adjustable by turning the governor arm screw to lower or increase the engine
output (RPMs).

CLEANING
WARNING! Only clean engine parts with a nonflammable solvent, unless
instructed otherwise. Keep all ignition sources away from fuel-related parts.
Fumes are flammable and may cause a burn injury or explosion if ignited.
NOTICE! Do not clean the engine’s exterior with a garden hose or pressure
washer. Water can enter the engine through the air filter or muffler opening
and damage the cylinder.
1.
Allow engine to cool for at least half an hour before cleaning.
2.
Clean all exterior surfaces.
3.
Touch up any damaged paint.
4.
Coat other areas that may rust with a light film of oil.
STORAGE
DANGER! Fuel is very flammable. Use extreme care when handling or storing
fuel. An ignition source contacting the fumes or fuel can result in a fire or
explosion and cause fatal or serious injuries to you or a bystander.
When not in use for an extended period, apply a thin coat of lubricant to the
steel parts to avoid rust. Remove the lubricant before using the engine again.
