WARNING:
The engine is designed to give safe and dependable service provided that it is
operated according to instructions.
Read and understand the manual before operating the engine. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury or equipment damage.
1. Preventing Fires
Never add fuel to the fuel tank while the engine is running.
Wipe away all fuel spills with a clean cloth. Keep gasoline, kerosene, matches and other
explosives and inflammables away from the engine because the temperature around the
exhaust muffler is very high during operation.
To prevent fire hazards and to provide adequate ventilation, keep the engine at least 1m
(3') away from buildings and other equipment during operation.
Operate the engine on a flat surface as much as possible. The allowable inclination of the
engine for continuous use is 20 degrees. There may be fuel spillage if the engine is tilted
exceeding the limit.
Do not put the engine or the engine mounted machinery i ndoors while the engine is still
hot.
2. Preventing Exhaust Gas Inhalation
Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide.Never use the engine in poorly ventilated locat i ons such as indoors and inside tunnels. If
indoor operation is unavoidable, provide prop er ventilation so that people and cattle wil l
not be affected.
3. Preventing Burns
Never touch the muffler, muffler cover or engine body while the engine is running or hot.
4. Other Safety Tips
Know how to stop the engine quickly and underst and how to operate all of the controls.
Never permit anyone to operate the engine without proper instruction.
Always wear a helmet and safety shoes (non-skid soles) and proper clothes. Do not operate under the influence of al cohol. Keep children and pets away from the engine whe n it is in operation.Stay away from rotating parts while the engine is running. When the engine is coupled with a machine, be sure to provide suitable covers for the
belt, coupling and other dangerous parts.
A spark arrester is provided as an optional part for t hi s engine. lt is illegal in some areas
to operate the engine without a spark arrester. Check local laws and regulations before
operating the engine.
Work according to the rules and regulations of the work area.
Use the correct tools and equipment.

1. Use an engine mount which is strong enough to prevent mi salignment and play during
engine operation.
Fasten the engine base firmly to the engine mount with adjustable shims.
2. Ensure accurate centring for coupling with the output shaft.
3. Check that the pulley’s shaft hole (fitting hole) and the key groove will fit the output shaft
precisely.
4. For belt driving, select a pulley which is a suitable size for the engine and which matches the
revolution speed and pulley size of the driven machinery. The proper pulley size for the
engine can be obtained by the following formula:
5. Ensure proper belt tension.
WARNING:
Too much play in the output shaft coupling may cause an accident. Be sure to
tighten the output shaft bolts firmly.
CAUTION:
Use of an unsuitable pulley overloads the engine, and this shortens the engine life.
CAUTION:
Too much tightness overloads the engine at st arting and stretches the belt, making it
prone to damage. The output shaft can also be broken, and other accidents could
occur. Too much looseness causes belt slippage d uring high output and high speed
operation.
Allowable Offset
The pulley should be as close as possible to the engine to reduce stresses on the
output shaft, however, the pulley MUST be aligned with the driven machinery. The
offset distance should be within the range listed below.
1. The offset distance "L" is the distance between the output shaft shoulder and the centre of
the farthest pulley groove.
2. The allowable offset distance varies according to the type and number of belts
(determined by the driving load of the driven machinery), and the belt tension. For details,
consult your nearest dealer.
Belt-Pull Angle
Inclination angle
Allowable
inclination (for
continuous use)
1.The belt-pull angle should be within 240 degrees, as illustrated.
Keep the engine inclination within the specified range.
NOTE: Place the engine on the level when refilling with engine oil.
While your engine is still new, application of heav y loads m ay shorten the life of the engine.
Follow the breaking-in procedures during the f irst 20 hours.
Avoid overloads
Avoid applying any heavy load during the breaking-in period.
NOTE: Be sure to drain the oil while the engine is still warm. When cold, it may be difficult to
drain the oil completely.
Change the engine oil regularly
Change the engine oil after 20 hours of initial operati on or at the end of the first month, and
1. Starting
(The preparations for electric starting are the same as for manual (recoil) starting).
a. Open the fuel cock.
b. Set the engine speed lever at the "START" Position.
c. Turn the start ing key clockwise to "START".
d. Remove your hand from the key as soon as the engine start s.
e. If the starting motor doesn't start after 10 s econds, wait for a while (about 15 seconds)
before attempting to start again.
CAUTION:
If the starting motor is turned for too long, the battery will go flat and the motor will
seize up. Always leave the starting key turned on (in the "ON" position) while the
engine is running.
2. Battery
Check the level of the fluid in the battery once a mo nth. When the level has dropped to the
lower mark, replenish it with distill ed water up t o the upper mark.
CAUTION:
It the battery fluid is low, the engine may not start bec ause too little electricity is
reaching the starter motor. Always keep the fluid level within the upper and lower
limits.
If too much battery fluid is supplied, the fl ui d may spill and corrode the
surrounding parts.
1. Warm up the engine without a load for about 3 minutes.
2. Turn the engine speed lever to the desired speed position and fasten the thumb nut.
CAUTION:
Be sure to use the engine speed lever to control the engine speed.
Do not loosen or readjust either the revolution speed limiting bolt or fuel injection
limiting bolt. Performance may be affected.
Checks During Operation
1. Any abnormal sound or vibrations?
2. Is the engine misfiring or running rough?
3. What about the colour of the exhaust gas? (Is it black or too white?)
If you notice any of the above, stop the engine and consul t your nearest dealer.
WARNING:
If the engine has been running, the muffler will be very hot. Be careful not to touch
the muffler. Never refill the fuel while the engine is runni ng.
Periodic checks and maintenance are very import ant for keeping the engine in good condition
and prolonging its durability. The chart below indicates which checks to make and when to make
them.
The mark (•) indicates that special tools and skills are required.
Do not wash the air cleaner element with detergent because this is a wet type of element.
CAUTION:
Never run the engine without the element or with a defective element.
NOTE:
A clogged element hinders the flow of air to the combusti on chamber. This reduces engine
output, increases lube oil and fuel oil consum ption and makes starting more difficult.
Make sure that you clean your element regularl y.
Change it every 6 months or 500 hours.
Cleaning the Air Cleaner Element (Oil Bath Type Air Cleaner)
Wash the dirty element with diesel fuel.
Remount it, after dipping it in the oil and squeezi ng out
the oil from the element. Fill the new engine oil up to the
oil level of the oil pan. Then put it back into the cylinder.
Never use gasoline or low flash point solvents .
Oil level check: Daily
Cleaning of element: Every one month or 50 hours
If storing your engine for long periods of time, m ake t he following preparations:
1. Run the engine for about 3 minutes and then stop.
2. Stop the engine. Drain the engine lube oil while the engine is still warm and fill it with new oil.
3. Remove the plastic plug on the rocker arm cover and add about 2cc of lube oil. Put the plug
back in place.
4. Recoil starting
Push the decompression lever down (non-compression position) and hold it while you pull
the recoil starter 2 or 3 times. (Don't start the engine.)
Electric starting
Turn on the engine for 2 - 3 seconds with the decompression lever set at the non-
compression position, and the starter key at the “START” position. (Don't start the engine.)
5. Pull the decompression lever up. Pull the recoil starter slowly. Stop when it feels tight . This
closes the intake and exhaust valves (in compression pos ition) and helps prevent rust from
forming.
6. Wipe the oil and dirt from the engine and store it in a dry plac e.
