Engine Safety
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Accidents occur less frequently when instructions are followed, the operator is safety
conscious and the engine is properly maintained. Some of the most common hazards
are discussed below, along with the best way to protect yourself and others.

the engine, take the following precautions.
• Perform when the engine is cool.
• Refuel outdoors in well-ventilated areas.
• The engine should not be running.
• Make sure the engine is grounded to prevent static electrical spark.
• Do not smoke or use cell phones when refueling.

Engine Safety CONTINUED
Exhaust / Muffler
Engine exhaust is dangerous because of intense heat and emission of carbon
monoxide (poisonous gas).
• The mufer becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a while after
stopping the engine. Do not touch the mufer while it is hot. Do not store the engine
until it is cool.
• To prevent re hazards and for adequate ventilation, keep the engine at least 3 feet
(1 meter) away from building walls and other equipment during operation. Do not
place ammable objects close to the engine.
• Carbon Monoxide Hazard:
Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous
gas. Avoid inhalation of exhaust gas. Always run the
engine in a well-ventilated area. Never run the
engine indoors.
Other Equipment
Review the instructions provided with the equipment powered by this engine for any
additional safety precautions that should be observed in conjunction with engine
startup, shutdown, operation, or protective safety gear that may be needed to operate
the equipment.
DANGER
WARNING
Do not touch hot sections of engine (see muffler figure
above). The hot sections of the engine can cause severe
burns.

CONTROLS
1. Fuel Valve
The fuel valve opens and closes the passage between the fuel tank and the carburetor.
The fuel valve must be in the ON position for the engine to run. When the engine is not
in use, be sure the fuel valve is in the OFF position to prevent carburetor ooding and
to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.
2. Engine ON/OFF Switch (per engine specification)
The engine switch enables and disables the ignition system. Turn the engine switch to
the ON position to start the engine. Turn the engine switch to the OFF position to stop
the engine.
3. Choke Lever
The choke lever opens and closes the choke valve in the carburetor. The “ON” position
enriches the fuel mixture which makes it easier when starting a cold engine. The
opposite position provides the correct fuel mixture for operation after engine warms up.
4. Throttle Lever (per engine specification)
The throttle lever controls engine speed (RPMs). Moving the throttle lever in the
directions shown makes the engine run faster or slower. (Non-generator applications.)
5. Recoil Starter Grip
Pulling the starter grip operates the recoil starter to crank the engine. Always grip snugly
and have your body positioned properly when pulling. Keep thumb on the end of the
handle in case of kick-back.

Before Operation
PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
For your safety, and to maximize the service life of your equipment, it is very important
to take a few moments before you operate the engine to check its condition. Be sure to
take care of any problem you nd, or have your servicing dealer correct it, before you
operate the engine.
Improperly maintaining this engine or failing to correct a problem
before operation, could cause a malfunction in which you could
be seriously injured.
Always perform a pre-operation inspection before each operation
and correct any problem.
Before beginning your pre-operation checks, be sure the engine is level and the engine
switch is in the OFF position (per engine specication).
Check the General Condition of the Engine
• Remove any excess dirt or debris, especially around the mufer, recoil starter, and
cylinder head ns.
• Inspect for signs of damage and oil leakage.
• Be sure all shields and covers are in place. All nuts, bolts, and screws must be tight.
Check the Engine
• Check the engine oil level. Running the engine with a low oil level or improper oil
can cause engine damage. To avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown,
always check the engine oil on a level surface before startup.
WARNING

• Check the air lter. A dirty air lter will restrict air ow to the carburetor, reducing
engine performance and can cause excessive wear on the engine.
• Check the fuel level before start-up. Since the engine must be cool before
refueling, starting with a full tank will help to eliminate or reduce operating
interruptions for refueling.
Check all Equipment Powered by this Engine
Review the instructions provided with the equipment powered by this engine for
