ture on engine.
2. To help avoid possible freeze-up of starter proceed as

With engine running, pull starter rope with a rapid
continuous full arm stroke 3 or 4 times.
NOTE
The unusual sound made by pulling starter rope will not
harm engine or starter.
B. Stop Engine
1. Move equipment control, if present (see manufacturer’s
instructions), engine control lever or ignition switch to
“STOP” or “OFF” position.

NEVER leave it unattended when it is running. Always turn
off the engine after use and remove ignition key, if
provided.

the fuel tank inside a building with
potential sources of ignition such as hot water and space
heaters, clothes dryers, electric motors, etc. To prevent
injury or death from fuel fires, follow these instructions:
