Operator Safety
WARNING
Gasoline 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 the fuel cap.
•Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated area.
•Do not overfill fuel tank. Fill tank to approximately 1.5 inches (38 mm) 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.
•If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
When Starting Engine
•Ensure that spark plug, muffler, fuel cap and air cleaner are in place and secured.
•Do not crank engine with spark plug removed.
•If engine floods, set choke (if equipped) to OPEN/RUN position, move throttle (if equipped) to FAST position and crank until engine starts.
When Operating Equipment
•Do not tip engine or equipment at angle which causes gasoline to spill.
•Do not choke the carburetor to stop engine.
•Never start or run the engine with the air cleaner assembly or the air filter removed.
When Changing Oil
•If you drain the oil from the top oil fill tube, the fuel tank must be empty or fuel can leak out and result in a fire or explosion.
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
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
Engines give 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
Contents are HARMFUL OR FATAL IF
SWALLOWED. Avoid contact to eyes, skin, or clothing. Do not take internally. Avoid breathing the mist or vapor. Overexposure to eyes or skin can cause irritation. KEEP
STABILIZER OUT OF THE REACH OF
CHILDREN.
Fuel stabilizer is a hazardous chemical. **
•IF SWALLOWED, call physician immediately. Do not induce vomiting. If inhaled, remove to fresh air. In case of eye or skin contact, flush with water for 15 minutes.
•Store unopened cartridges in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Keep open cartridge in fuel cap and fuel cap closed on fuel tank when not in use.
**Fuel stabilizer contains: 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol (128-39-2) and aliphatic petroleum distillate (64742-47-8).
•In case of emergency, contact a physician immediately and call 1-800-424-9300 for material safety information.

Operator Safety
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 the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
•Remove all external equipment/engine loads before starting engine.
•Direct-coupled equipment components such as, but not limited to, blades, impellers, 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
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.
•Allow muffler, engine cylinder and fins to cool before touching.
•Remove accumulated debris 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
Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock.
Unintentional start-up can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation, or
laceration. Fire hazard
Before performing adjustments or repairs:
•Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep it away from the spark plug.
•Disconnect battery at negative terminal (only engines with electric start.)
•Use only correct tools.
•Do not tamper with governor spring, links or other parts to increase engine speed.
•Replacement parts must be the same and installed in the same position as the original parts.
•Do not strike the flywheel with a hammer or hard object because the flywheel may later shatter during operation.
When testing for spark:
•Use approved spark plug tester.
•Do not check for spark with spark plug removed.

Oil Recommendations
We recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton Warranty Certified oils for best performance. Other high-quality detergent oils are acceptable if classified for service SF, SG, SH, SJ or higher. Do not use special additives.
Outdoor temperatures determine the proper oil viscosity for the engine. Use the chart to select the best viscosity for the outdoor temperature range expected.
Note: Synthetic oil meeting ILSAC GF-2, API certification mark and API service symbol (shown at left) with “SJ/CF ENERGY CONSERVING” or higher, is an acceptable oil at all temperatures. Use of synthetic oil does not alter required oil change intervals.
