CONTROLS

1. Fuel Valve

The fuel valve opens and closes the passage between the fuel tank and the carburetor.
The fuel valve must be in the ON position for the engine to run. When the engine is not

in use, be sure the fuel valve is in the OFF position to prevent carburetor flooding and

to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.

2. Engine ON/OFF Switch (per engine specification)

The engine switch enables and disables the ignition system. Turn the engine switch to
the ON position to start the engine. Turn the engine switch to the OFF position to stop
the engine.

3. Choke Lever

The choke lever opens and closes the choke valve in the carburetor. The "ON" position
enriches the fuel mixture which makes it easier when starting a cold engine. The
opposite position provides the correct fuel mixture for operation after engine warms up.

4. Throttle Lever (per engine specification)

The throttle lever controls engine speed (RPMs). Moving the throttle lever in the
directions shown makes the engine run faster or slower. (Non-generator applications.)

5. Recoil Starter Grip

Pulling the starter grip operates the recoil starter to crank the engine. Always grip snugly
and have your body positioned properly when pulling. Keep thumb on the end of the
handle in case of kick-back.

HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION

Carburetor Modifications

The standard carburetor air-fuel mixture may be too rich when operated at high altitude
resulting in possible decreased performance and increased fuel consumption. Please
have an authorized LCT Service Center modify this engine's carburetor if it is operated
continuously above 5000 feet. Failure to modify may result in poor engine performance,
spark plug fouling, hard starting, and increased emissions.

Carburetor modification by an authorized LCT Service Center will improve performance
and allow this engine to continually meet US EPA and California ARB emission
standards throughout its useful life.

Important Note

When the carburetor has been modified for high altitude operation, the air-fuel mixture
may be too lean for operation at 5000 feet or below. This could result in the engine
overheating and could cause serious engine damage. Please have an authorized LCT
Service Center restore high altitude converted carburetors back to the original factory
specification before operating below 5000 feet.

STORING YOUR ENGINE

Storage Preparation

Proper storage preparation keeps your engine trouble-free and clean. The following
steps will assist in keeping rust and corrosion from impairing your engine's function and
appearance, and will make the engine easier to start when using again.

Cleaning

Ifthe engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least half an hour before cleaning.
Clean all exterior surfaces and apply a light film of oil or WD-40 to prevent rust.

• Do not spray water into muffler or air cleaner. Water in the air cleaner will soak the air
filter, and water that passes through the air filter or muffler can enter the cylinder and
cause severe damage.

• Water contacting a hot engine can cause damage. If the engine has been running,
allow it to cool for at least half an hour before washing.

Adding a Fuel Stabilizer to Extend Fuel Storage Life

1. Turn the fuel valve off while engine is running and allow the engine to run
until it stops. Turn engine OFF when it begins surging to avoid engine damage.

2. Add fuel stabilizer, following the manufacturer's instructions.

3. Turn fuel valve on after adding fuel stabilizer

4. Re-start engine.

5. Run the engine outdoors for 1 minute to be sure that treated gasoline has replaced
the untreated gasoline in the carburetor.

6. Slow the engine to an idle speed. (Non-generator application.)

7. Repeat step 1 above.

STORAGE PRECAUTIONS

Ifyour engine will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and in the carburetor, there is
the possible hazard of gasoline vapor ignition. Choose a well-ventilated storage area
away from heat, sparks, flames, and any appliance that operates with a flame such as
a furnace, water heater, or clothes dryer. Avoid any area with a spark-producing electric
motor, garage door openers, or where power tools are operated.

Avoid storage areas with high humidity which causes rust and corrosion. Leave the fuel
valve lever in the OFF position to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.

Position the equipment so the engine is level to avoid fuel or oil leakage. When
the engine and exhaust system are cool, cover the engine to keep out dust. A hot
engine and exhaust system can ignite or melt certain materials. Do not use sheet

plastic as a dust cover. A nonporous cover can trap moisture around the engine causing
rust and corrosion.

Removal From Storage

Check your engine as described in the BEFORE OPERATION chapter of this manual. If
refueling is required, only use fresh gasoline.

TRANSPORTING

Transport only when engine is cool. A hot engine and exhaust system can burn you
and can ignite some materials. Keep the engine level when transporting to reduce the

possibility of fuel leakage. Position the fuel valve lever to the OFF position. Secure the
engine to prevent movement during transporting to prevent potential injury and damage
to the engine.
