IS YOUR ENGINE READY TO GO?

SAFE OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

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 find, or have your servicing dealer correct it,

before you operate the engine.

Before operating the engine for the first time, please review the

SAFETYINFORMATIONsection on page a nd the BEFORE

OPERATIONCHECKSon page .

For your safety, do not operate the engine in an enclosed area

such as a garage. Your engine’s exhaust contains poisonous

carbon monoxide gas that can collect rapidly in an enclosed area

and cause illness or death.

Improperly maintaining this engine, or failure to

correct a problem before operation, can cause a

malfunction in which you can be seriously hurt or

killed.

Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas

that can build up to dangerous levels in closed areas.

Breathing carbon monoxide can cause

unconsciousness or death.

Always perform a pre-operation inspection before

each operation, and correct any problem.

Before beginning your preoperation checks, be sure the engine is

level and the engine switch on the equipment is in the OFF

position.

Never run the engine in a closed, or even partly

closed area where people may be present.

Always check the following items before you start the engine:

Review the instructions provided with the equipment powered by

this engine for any safety precautions that should be observed

with engine startup, shutdown or operation.

Check the General Condition of the Engine

STARTING THE ENGINE

Look around and underneath the engine for signs of oil or

gasoline leaks.

Open the fuel tank vent by turning the fuel cap vent knob at least

2 or 3 turns counterclockwise.

Remove any excessive dirt or debris, especially around the

muffler and recoil starter.

FUEL CAP VENT KNOB

Look for signs of damage.

Check that all shields and covers are in place, and all nuts, bolts,

and screws are tightened.

OPEN

Check the Engine

Check the fuel level (see page ). Starting with a full tank will

help to eliminate or reduce operating interruptions for refueling.

Check the engine oil level (see page ) . Running the engine

with a low oil level can cause engine damage.

Check the air filter element (see page ) . A dirty air filter

element will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine

performance.

Turn the fuel valve lever to the ON position.

Check the equipment powered by this engine.

Review the instructions provided with the equipment powered

by this engine for any precautions and procedures that should

be followed before engine startup.
