GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area
1.Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
2.Do not operate the Engine in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Gasoline engines create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3.Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. 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
1.Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating the Engine may result in serious personal injury.
2.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
3.Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. 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 wearANSI-approved safety goggles when using or performing maintenance on this Engine.
Tool Use And Care
1.Do not force the Engine. Use the correct Engine for your application. 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.

2.Do not use the Engine if the Engine’s Ignition Switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the Ignition Switch is dangerous and must be replaced.
3.Disconnect the Spark Plug Wire from the Engine before making any adjustments, 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. Maintain tools with care. Keep the Engine clean. 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.
4.Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and 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.
5.Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool.
Service
1.Engine service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
2.When servicing the Engine, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions 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 void applicable warranties.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1.IMPORTANT! Your Warranty is voided if:
YoudonotputengineoilintheEngine’scrankcasepriortoitsfirstuse. Before each use, check the oil level. Never run the Engine with low or no engine oil. Running the Engine with low or no Engine oil will permanently damage the Engine.

5.People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure. Caution is necessary when near the Engine’s magneto or recoil starter.
6.Never leave the Engine unattended when it is running. Turn off the Engine before leaving the work area.
7.Always use the Engine on a flat, level, dry ground surface.
8.Make sure to keep hands and fingers away from all moving parts of the Engine.
9.Prior to installing the Engine onto a power equipment unit, make sure to read and understand all instructions and safety precautions as outlined in the owner’s manual for the power equipment.
TOXIC FUMES, FIRE, AND EXPLOSION PRECAUTIONS
1.This Engine is designed for outdoor use only. Do not operate the Engine in a closed area or in a poorly ventilated area. When running, the Engine produces carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, toxic gas that, when inhaled, can cause serious personal injury or death. Whenever possible, use a carbon monoxide detector (not included) to detect excessive carbon monoxide fumes in the work area and in the surrounding area.
2.Gasoline fuel and fumes are flammable, and potentially explosive. Use proper fuel storage and handling procedures. Always have multiple ABC class fire extinguishers nearby.
3.Keep the Engine and surrounding areas clean at all times.
4.When spills of fuel or oil occur, they must be cleaned up immediately. Dispose of fluids and cleaning materials as per any local, state, or federal codes and regulations. Store oil rags in a covered metal container.
5.Never store fuel or other flammable materials near the Engine.
6.Do not smoke, or allow sparks, flames, or other sources of ignition around the
Engine.
7.Keep grounded conductive objects, such as tools, away from exposed, live electrical parts and connections to avoid sparking or arcing. These events could ignite fumes or vapors.
8.Do not refill the Fuel Tank while the Engine is running or hot.
9.Do not operate the Engine with known leaks in the Engine’s fuel system.
10.Use only Engine manufacturer recommended oil and fuel.

2.To provide battery power to the Starter Motor (4 - page 26), connect the BLACK (negative -) wire from the negative (-) post on the battery to the Bolt designated on the base of the engine. Then connect the RED (positive +) wire from the Starter
Motor to the positive (+) post on the battery. (See Figure B.)
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.Make sure the Engine’s Crankcase is filled with approximately 37 ounces of 10-30W automotive oil. Also, make sure the Engine’s Fuel Tank is filled with approximately 1-1/2 gallon of unleaded gasoline before attempting to start the Engine. Failure to do so WILL damage the Engine and void the Warranty.
2.Before adding oil check to make sure the Drain Plug (2 - page 13) is tight. Unscrew and remove the Dipstick (15 - page 14). Pour the required amount of oil into the Crankcase Cover (4 - page 14). Then screw the Dipstick back into the Crankcase
Cover. (See Figure C, next page.)
3.Unscrew and remove the Fuel Filler Cap (11 - page 19) from the Fuel Tank
(9 - page 19). 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.
