Service Precautions
1. Before service, maintenance, or cleaning:
a. Turn the Engine Switch to its “OFF” position.
b. Allow the Engine to completely cool.
c. Then, remove the Spark Plug Cap
from the Spark Plug.
2. Keep machine, attachments, and accessories in
safe working condition. Keep all safety guards
in place and in proper working order. Safety
guards include muffler, air cleaner, mechanical
guards, and heat shields, among other guards.
3. Do not alter or adjust any part of the
equipment or its engine that is sealed by the
manufacturer or distributor. Only a qualified
service technician may adjust parts that may
increase or decrease governed engine speed.
4. Check shear bolts, engine mounting bolts, and other
bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness to be
sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
5. Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel
tank inside a building where ignition sources are
present, such as hot water and space heaters,
clothes dryers, and the like. Allow the engine
to cool before storing in any enclosure.
6. If the fuel tank has to be drained, do this outdoors.
7. Do not store fuel or other flammable
materials near the engine.
8. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles,
heavy-duty work gloves, and
dust mask/respirator during service.
9. Maintain labels and nameplates on the equipment.
These carry important information.
If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
10. Have the equipment serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the equipment
is maintained. Do not attempt any service or
maintenance procedures not explained in this
manual or any procedures that you are uncertain
about your ability to perform safely or correctly.
11. Store equipment out of the reach of children.
12. Follow scheduled engine and
equipment maintenance.
Refueling:
1. Do not refill the fuel tank while the
engine is running or hot.
2. Do not smoke, or allow sparks, flames,
or other sources of ignition around the
equipment, especially when refuelling.
3. Do not fill fuel tank to the top.
Leave a little room for the fuel to expand as needed,
at least 1 inch from top of the neck.
TO PREVENT FUEL LEAKAGE AND
FIRE HAZARD, do not fill fuel above
the bottom of the threads.
4. Refuel in a well-ventilated area only.
5. Wipe up any spilled fuel and allow excess
to evaporate before starting engine.
To prevent FIRE, do not start the engine
while the smell of fuel hangs in the air.
