WARNING
Fuel and its vapours are extremely flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
Running engines produce heat. Engine parts, especially muffler, become extremely hot.
Severe thermal burns can occur on contact.
• Before tilting the engine to drain oil from the oil fill tube, the fuel tank must be empty or fuel
can leak out and result in a fire or explosion.
• To empty the fuel tank, run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel.
