SURROUNDINGS
• Operate the engine on a table or level
surface free of small rocks and loose
gravel.
• Operate the engine on a level surface. If
the engine is tilted, fuel may spill from the
gas tank.
NOTE: Operating the engine at a steep incline
may cause the engine to seize up due to
improper lubrication even when the oil level is
a maximum.
• Be careful of fuel spillage when
transporting the engine. Always tighten
the fuel cap and close the fuel strainer cock
before moving the engine around.
• Never move the engine while it is in
operation.
• If the engine will be transported over a
long distance, drain all the fuel from the
fuel tank to prevent fuel leakage.
PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
• Carefully check fuel pipes and fuel joints
for fuel leakage. Leaked fuel creates a
dangerous situation.
• Verify that all the nuts and bolts of the
engine are tights. A loose nut or bolts may
cause serious engine failure and could lead
to serious injuries.
• Always check the engine oil and refill it if
necessary.
• Always check the fuel level and refill it if
necessary. Never overfill the fuel tank
• Avoid wearing dangling or long clothes
such as loose aprons, towels, and waist
belts, as these items may be caught in a
rotating part of the engine.
