• If you spill gasoline, do not attempt to start the engine. Move the
machine away from the area of the spill and avoid creating any
source of ignition until the gas vapors have dissipated. Wipe up
any spilled fuel to prevent a fire hazard and properly dispose of the
waste.
• Allow the engine to cool completely before storing in any enclosure.
Never store a machine that has gas in the tank, or a fuel container,
near an open flame or spark such as a water heater, space heater,
clothes dryer or furnace.
• Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine running. Shut
down the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, keeping it away
from the spark plug to prevent accidental starting. Wait 5 minutes
before making adjustments or repairs.
• Never tamper with the engine’s governor setting. The governor
controls the maximum safe operation speed and protects the
engine. Over-speeding the engine is dangerous and will cause
damage to the engine and to the other moving parts of the
machine. If required, see your authorized dealer for engine governor
adjustments.
• Keep combustible substances away from the engine when it is hot.
• Never cover the machine while the muffler is still hot.
• Do not operate the engine with the air cleaner or the carburetor
air intake cover removed. Removal of such parts could create a fire
hazard. Do not use flammable solutions to clean the air filter.
• The muffler and engine become very hot and can cause a severe
burn; do not touch.
