natural or LP gas leak in area.
• Make sure spark plug, muffler, fuel cap
and housings are in place and firmly
secured by equipped fasteners.
• Do not use pressurized starting fluids
because vapors are flammable.

sprains could result.
Rapid retraction of starter cord
(kickback) will pull hand and arm
toward engine faster than you can
let go.
5. Push rocker switch (if equipped) to ON or RUN.

• 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.

Operating Engine
• 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 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
Rotating parts can contact or
entangle hands, feet, hair,
clothing, or accessories.
Traumatic amputation or severe
laceration can result.
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.
WARNING
Engines give off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless, poison
gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can
cause nausea, fainting or death.
WARNING
• The manufacturer of equipment on
which this engine is installed specifies
top speed at which engine will be
operated. DO NOT EXCEED this speed.

1. Move throttle to SLOW (if equipped).
2. Turn key to OFF. Remove key and store out of
reach of children.
3. Push rocker switch (if equipped) to OFF or STOP.
4. Close fuel shut-off valve (if equipped).
