Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock.
Failure to observe this warning can result in property
damage, severe burns and/or death.
• Ensure spark plug is in place before attempting to start engine.
• Ensure muffler is secured to engine before starting.
• Ensure fuel cap is on fuel tank and tightened securely.
• Ensure air cleaner is clean and properly attached to engine.
A dirty air cleaner element changes the air to fuel ratio and
promotes incomplete combustion of fuel increasing the output of
carbon monoxide. Always make sure air cleaner element is clean
before every operation of the engine.
• DO NOT crank engine with spark plug wire removed. The resulting spark
could ignite spilled fuel.
Do not contact muffler area with engine running. Muffler gets
extremely hot and can cause severe burns. Exhaust gases can
ignite combustible items such as clothing or structures in close
proximity. Gases leaking from worn muffler can heat up and damage fuel
tank resulting in fire or explosion.
• DO NOT touch hot parts of engine or muffler.
•
AVOID hot exhaust gases.
• Keep a minimum of 5 ft. (1.5M) clearance on all sides of the engine including top.
Starter and other rotating parts of engine can entangle hair, hands,
clothing and accessories.
• NEVER operate with protective housing or covers removed.
•
DO NOT use while wearing loose clothing or jewelr
y that may get caught up
in starter or other rotating parts. T
ie up long hair or wear hair net or cap.
