This manual contains safety information to make you aware
of the hazards and risks associated with engines, and how
to avoid them. Because Briggs & Stratton does not necessarily know what

these instructions and the instructions for the equipment this engine powers.
The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

SAFETY
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
WHEN ADDING FUEL
Turn engine OFF and let engine cool at least 2 minutes before removing gas
cap.
Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated area.
Do not overfill fuel tank. Fill tank to approximately 1--1/2 inches below top of
neck to allow for fuel expansion.
Keep gasoline away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other
ignition sources.
Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequently for cracks or leaks. Replace if
necessary.
WHEN STARTING ENGINE
Make sure spark plug, muffler, fuel cap and air cleaner are in place.
Do not crank engine with spark plug removed.
If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
If engine floods, set choke to OPEN/RUN position, place throttle in FAST and
crank until engine starts.
WHEN OPERATING EQUIPMENT
Do not tip engine or equipment at an angle which causes gasoline to spill.
Do not choke carburetor to stop engine.
WHEN TRANSPORTING EQUIPMENT
Transport with fuel tank EMPTY, or with fuel shut--off valve OFF.
WHEN STORING GASOLINE OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL IN TANK
Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or other appliances that have
pilot light or other ignition source because they can ignite gasoline vapors.
WARNING
Gaseous fuels, such as liquid petroleum gas (LPG) and natural gas
(NG), are extremely flammable and can readily form explosive
air-vapor mixtures at moderate temperatures.
WARNING
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
DO NOT start the engine.
DO NOT actuate any electrical switches.
DO NOT use the phone in the vicinity.
Evacuate the area.
Contact the gas supplier or fire department.
REMEMBER:
LPG vapor is heavier than air and tends to collect in low areas. NG vapor is
lighter then air and tends to collect in high areas. Both may travel to remote
locations.
Keep all flames, sparks, pilot lights and other ignition sources away from the
area where the engine is operated or repaired.
DO NOT smoke when operating or repairing the engine.
DO NOT store gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of the
engine.
BEFORE doing any service work to the engine, shut off the gas supply.
After initial installation or servicing, check for gas leaks. DO NOT use an open
flame. Apply very soapy water or leak test solution with a brush and look for
bubbles.
Keep the equipment and the area surrounding the engine free of debris.
Install the fuel system according to applicable fuel/gas codes.
Engines g ive off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless, poison
gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nausea, fainting or death.
Start and run engine outdoors.
Do not start or run engine in enclosed area, even if doors or windows are open.
WARNING
Starting engine creates sparking. Sparking can ignite nearby
flammable gases. Explosion and fire could result.
If there is natural or LP gas leakage in area, do not start engine.
Do not use pressurized starting fluids because vapors are flammable.
WARNING
Rapid retraction of starter cord (kickback) will pull hand and arm toward
engine faster than you can let go. Broken bones, fractures, bruises or
sprains could result.
When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly.
Remove all external equipment/engine loads before starting engine.
Direct coupled equipment components such as, but not limited to, blades, impellors,
pulleys, sprockets, etc., must be securely attached.
WARNING
Rotating parts can contact or entangle hands, feet, hair, clothing,
or accessories. Traumatic amputation or severe laceration can
result.
Operate equipment with guards in place.
Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.
Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.
Do not wear loose-fitting clothing, dangling drawstrings or items that could become
caught.
WARNING
Allow muffler, engine cylinder and fins to cool before touching.
Remove accumulated combustibles from muffler area and cylinder area.
Install and maintain in working order a spark arrester before using equipment on
forest-covered, grass-covered, brush-covered unimproved land. The state of
California requires this (Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code).
Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal land.
WARNING
Running engines produce heat. Engine parts, especially muffler,
become extremely hot.
Severe thermal burns can occur on contact.
Combustible debris, such as leaves, grass, brush, etc. can catch fire.
Installation, adjustment and repair work should be done by a qualified technician.
Flexible supply lines should be checked regularly to make sure they are in good
condition. Replace damaged or leaking components.
WARNING
Wear eye protection when doing repair work.
Frostbite can result from skin/eye contact with leaking LP liquid.
