1.2 Safety Warnings
FLAMMABLE AND POISONOUS
MATERIALS
• Gasoline is highly flammable and its vapors can
explode if ignited. Take precautions when using fuel
to reduce the chance of serious personal injury.
• When refilling or draining the fuel tank, use an
approved fuel storage container while in a clean,
well-ventilated outdoor area.
• Do not smoke or allow sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition near the area while adding
fuel or operating the product. Never fill fuel tank
indoors.
• Equip the operating area with a fire extinguisher
certified to handle gasoline or fuel fires.
• Keep grounded conductive objects, such as tools,
away from exposed, live electrical parts and
connections to avoid sparking or arcing. These
events could ignite fumes or vapors.
• Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before
filling the fuel tank. Never remove the cap of the
fuel tank or add fuel while the engine is running or
when the engine is hot. Do not operate the product
with known leaks in the fuel system.
• Loosen the fuel tank cap slowly to relieve any
pressure in the tank.
• Replace fuel tank and container caps securely and
wipe up spilled fuel. Never operate the product
without both caps securely in place.
• Avoid creating a source of ignition for spilled fuel.
If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine
near spill. Move the product away from the area of
spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition
until fuel vapors have dissipated.
• Store fuel in containers specifically designed and
approved for this purpose.
• Store fuel in a cool, well-ventilated area, safely
away from sparks, open flames, or other sources of
ignition.
• Never store fuel or product with fuel in the tank
inside a building where fumes may reach a spark,
open flame, or any other source of ignition, such as
a water heater, furnace, clothes dryer, or the like.
Allow the engine to cool before storing indoors.
CAUTION–ENGINE SAFETY
• Certain components in this product and its related
accessories contain chemicals which are known to
cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive
harm. Wash hands after handling.
• The engine exhaust from this product contains
chemicals which are known to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm.
• Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequently
for cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.
• This engine was shipped without oil. Before you
start the engine, make sure you add oil according
to the instructions in this manual. If you start the
engine without oil, it will be damaged beyond repair
and will not be covered under the warranty.
• When starting engine ensure that spark plug,
muffler, fuel cap and air filter are in place and
secured.
• Do not crank engine with spark plug removed.
• If engine floods, move the throttle control to fast
position and crank until engine starts.
• When operating the engine do not tip engine or
equipment at an angle which will cause fuel to spill.
• Do not choke the carburetor to stop the engine.
• Never start or run the engine with the air cleaner
assembly or the air filter removed.
• Transport or move the product only with empty
fuel tank.
• Rapid retraction of starter cord (kickback) will pull
hand and arm towards engine faster than you can
let go. Risk of injury – broken bones, fractures,
bruises, or sprains could result.
• Keep the engine and muffle free of grass, leaves,
excessive grease, or carbon build-up to reduce the
chance of a fire hazard.
• Do not tamper with any part of the engine to
increase its speed.
• If the product makes an unusual noise or
vibration, immediately shut off the engine,
disconnect the spark plug wire, and check for the
cause. Unusual noise or vibration is generally a
sign of a problem.
• Use only attachments and accessories approved
by the manufacturer. Failure to do so can result in
personal injury.
