for fuel expansion.
• Keep gasoline away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources.
• Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequently for cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.
• If fuel spill, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
• Reinstall the fuel cap.
High Altitude Operation
Your engine is configured for operation below 2,000 feet altitude at the factory. Your engine must be
reconfigured for operation above 2,000 feet altitude. Operating the engine with the wrong engine
configuration at a given altitude may increase its emissions, decrease fuel efficiency, degrade
performance, and cause irreversible damage. Engines configured for high altitude operation cannot be
operated in standard altitude conditions. A qualified service center should ensure that your engine is
properly configured for your location.

CAUTION: All the components used to build this engine must remain in place for proper operation. Use
only original Tillotson® or original part manufacturer replacement parts. Other parts may not
perform as well, may damage the unit, and may result in injury. In addition, use of other parts may
void your warranty. Contact us or your local dealer for genuine Tillotson® parts.
