WHEN TRANSPORTING EQUIPMENT
• Transport with fuel tank EMPTY or with fuel shut-off
valve OFF.
WHEN STORING GASOLINE OR EQUIPMENT WITH
FUEL IN TANK
• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters and
other appliances that have pilot lights or other ignition
source. They can ignite gasoline vapors.
Starting engine creates sparking.
Sparking can ignite nearby ammable gases.
Explosion and re could result.
• If there is natural or LP gas leakage in area, do not
start engine.
• Do not use pressurized starting uids because vapors
are ammable.
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.
• When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is
felt, then pull rapidly.
• Remove all external equipment/engine loads before starting
engine.
• Direct coupled equipment components such as, but not
limited to, blades, impellors, pulleys, sprockets, etc. must
be securely attached.
Rotating parts can contact or entangle hands, feet,
hair, clothing or accessories.
Traumatic amputation or severe laceration can result.
• 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 tting clothing, dangling drawstrings or
items that could become caught.
Engines give off carbon monoxide, an odorless,
colorless, poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nausea,
fainting or death.
• Start and run engine outdoors.
• Do not start or run engine in enclosed area, even if doors or
windows are open.
Safety Warnings
Running engines produce heat. Engine parts,
especially mufers, become extremely hot.
Severe thermal burns can occur on contact.
Combustible debris, such as leaves, grass, brush,
etc. can catch re.
• Allow mufer, engine cylinder and ns to cool before
touching.
• Remove accumulated combustibles from mufer area and
cylinder area.
• Install and maintain in working order a spark arrester
before using equipment on forest covered, grass covered
and 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.
Unintentional sparking can result in re
or electric shock.
Unintentional start up can result in entanglement,
traumatic amputation, or lacerations.
BEFORE PERFORMING ADJUSTMENTS OR
REPAIRS
• Disconnect spark plug wire and keep it away from
spark plug.
• Disconnect battery at negative terminal (only
engines with electric start).
WHEN TESTING FOR SPARK
• Use approved spark plug tester.
• Do not check for spark with spark plug removal.
