WORK AREA
Keep your work area clean and well lit. 1. Cluttered and dark areas invite acci-
dents.
Do not operate the Engine in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence 2.
of ammable liquids, gases, or dust. Gasoline engines create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. 3.
Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area from
debris such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or shields as needed. Children
should never be allowed in the work area.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operat-1.
ing a power tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under the inuence
of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating the
Engine may result in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. 2.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. 3. Proper footing
and balance enables better control of the Engine in unexpected situations.
4. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask,
nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions. Always wear ANSI-approved safety goggles
when using or performing maintenance on this Engine.
TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not force the Engine. Use the correct Engine for your application. 1. The
correct Engine will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
Do not force the Engine and do not use the Engine for a purpose for which it is not
intended.
Do not use the Engine if the Engine’s Ignition Switch does not turn it on or 2.
off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the Ignition Switch is dangerous and
must be replaced.
Disconnect the Spark Plug Wire from the Engine before making any adjust-3.
ments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally. Always disconnect the

Spark Plug Wire before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning
procedures.
Store idle equipment out of reach of children and other untrained persons. 4.
Gasoine engines are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep the Engine clean.5. Properly maintained engines
are less likely to malfunction and are easier to control. Do not use a damaged
Engine. Tag damaged engines “Do not use” until repaired.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and 6.
any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
Engine serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
equipment.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your 7.
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous
when used on another tool.
SERVICE
Engine service must be performed only by qualied repair personnel. 1. Service
or maintenance performed by unqualied personnel could result in a risk of injury.
When servicing the Engine, use only identical replacement parts. Follow in-2.
structions in the “Inspection, Maintenance, And Cleaning” section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create
a risk of injury, and would void applicable warranties.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: 1. If you have any doubts about your ability to perform the following
assembly procedures, you should have a qualied service technician perform the
assembly for you.
Located at the base of the Crankcase Sump (11 - page 13) are four 8mm x 1.25 2.
mounting holes. (See Figure A.)
Set the Engine upright on the power equipment unit, and align the four mounting 3.
holes of the Engine with four 8mm x 1.25 mounting holes in the power equip-
ment unit. NOTE: Depending on the power equipment unit, it may be necessary
to drill four 8mm mounting holes which will align with the mounting holes in the
Engine. (See Figure A.)
Use four 8mm x 1.25 hardened steel Bolts, Washers, Lock Washers, and self-locking 4.
Nuts (not included) of appropriate length to secure the Engine to the power equip-
ment unit. (See Figure A.)
5. CAUTION! Check to make sure the Bolts, Washers, Lock Washers, and
Nuts used DO NOT come in contact with any moving part of the Engine and
power equipment unit.
Insert the power equipment unit’s throttle control cable wire end into the hole lo-6.
cated in the Regulating Mount with Throttle (1 - page 22). Then secure the Throttle
Control Cable to the Throttle. (See Figure B.)
NOTE: 7. Refer to the power equipment unit’s owner manual for instructions on how

Make sure the Engine’s Crankcase is lled with approximately 20 ounces of 1.
10-30W automotive oil. Also, make sure the Engine’s Fuel Tank is lled with
approximately 1/2 gallon of unleaded gasoline before attempting to start the
Engine. Failure to do so WILL damage the Engine and void the Warranty.
To do so, check to make sure the Drain Plug (13 - page 13) is tight. Then unscrew 2.
and remove the Dipstick (2 - page 13) from the Filler (4 - page 13). Pour the re-
quired amount of oil into the Filler. Then screw the Dipstick back into the Filler.
(See Figure C, next page.)
Unscrew and remove the Fuel Filler Cap (2 - page 18) from the Fuel Tank (8 - page 3.
18). Pour the required amount of unleaded gasoline (mid to high octane) into the
Fuel Tank. Then screw the Fuel Filler Cap back onto the Fuel Tank.
(See Figure D, next page.)
To start the Engine, check to make sure the transmission (if applicable) of the power 4.
equipment unit is in “NEUTRAL” or “PARK”. When starting, the Engine MUST
NOT be under a load.
Turn the Fuel Lever of the Engine to its 5. “OPEN” position.
(See Figure E, next page.)
Move the power equipment unit’s Throttle Cable Lever to its 6. “START” or “CHOKE”
position. NOTE: No choke is required if the Engine is warm. Move the Throttle
Cable Lever to its “RUN” position when starting a warm Engine.

the Starter Handle with a rapid, full arm stroke. Allow the Starter Rope to rewind
slowly. If necessary, repeat this process until the Engine starts. (See Figure F.)
When the Engine starts, slowly move the power equipment unit’s Throttle Cable 8.
Lever to its “RUN” position. IMPORTANT: Allow the Engine to run at no load for
ve minutes after each start-up so that the Engine can stabilize.
