Starting engine creates sparking.

Sparking can ignite nearby flammable gases.

Explosion and fire could result.

WARNING

 If there is natural or LP gas leakage in area, do not start engine.

 Do not use pressurized starting fluids because vapors are flammable.

POISONOUS GAS HAZARD. Engine exhaust contains carbon

monoxide, a poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes. You

CANNOT see it, smell it, or taste it. Even if you do not smell exhaust

fumes, you could still be exposed to carbon monoxide gas. If you start

to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using this product, shut it off and get

to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon

monoxide poisoning.

WARNING

 Operate this product ONLY outside far away from windows, doors and vents to

reduce the risk of carbon monoxide gas from accumulating and potentially being

drawn towards occupied spaces.

 Install battery--operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug--in carbon monoxide

alarms with battery back-up according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Smoke alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.

 DO NOT run this product inside homes, garages, basements, crawlspaces,

sheds, or other partially-enclosed s paces even if using fans or opening doors

and windows for ventilation. Carbon monoxide can quickly build up in these

spaces and can linger for hours, even after this product has shut off.

 ALWAYS place this product downwind and point the engine exhaust away from

occupied spaces.

Rapid r etraction of starter cord (kickback) will pull hand and arm

toward engine faster than you can let go.

Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could result.

WARNING

 When starting engine, pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then

pull rapidly to avoid kickback.

 Remove all external equipment/engine loads before starting engine.

 Direct-coupled equipment components such as, but not limited to, blades,

impellers, pulleys, sprockets, etc., must be securely attached.

WARNING

Missing or inoperative “fuel lock-off” valve can cause a fire or

explosion.

 Do not operate the equipment if the “fuel lock-off” valve is missing or inoperative.

Rotating parts can contact or entangle hands, feet, hair, clothing, or

accessories.

Traumatic amputation or severe laceration can result.

WARNING

 Operate equipment with guards in place.

 Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.

 Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.

 Do not wear loose-fitting clothing, dangling drawstrings or items that could

become caught.

Running engines produce heat. Engine parts, especially muffler,

become extremely hot.

Severe thermal burns can occur on contact.

Combustible debris, such as leaves, grass, brush, etc. can catch fire.

WARNING

 Allow muffler, engine cylinder and fins to cool before touching.

 Remove accumulated debris from muffler area and cylinder area.

 It is a v iolation of California Public Resource Code, Section 4442, to use or

operate the engine on any forest-covered, brush-covered, or grass-covered land

unless the exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester, as defined in

Section 4442, maintained in effective working order. Other states or federal

jurisdictions may have similar laws. Contact the original equipment

manufacturer, retailer, or dealer to obtain a spark arrester designed for the

exhaust system installed on this engine.

Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock.

Unintentional start-up can result in entanglement, traumatic

amputation, or laceration.

Fire hazard

WARNING

Before performing adjustments or repairs:

 Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep it away from the spark plug.

 Disconnect battery at negative terminal (only engines with electric start.)

 Use only c orrect tools.

 Do not tamper with governor spring, links or other parts to increase engine

speed.

 Replacement parts must be of the same design and installed in the same

position as the original parts. Other parts may not perform as well, may damage

the unit, and may result in injury.

 Do not strike the flywheel with a hammer or hard object because the flywheel

may later shatter during operation.

When testing for spark:

 Use approved spark plug tester.

 Do not check for spark with s park plug removed.

WARNING

Gaseous fuels are extremely flammable and readily form explosive

air-vapor mixtures at ambient temperatures.

If you smell gas,

 Do not start the engine.

 Do not actuate any electrical switches.

 Do not use a phone in the v icinity.

 Evacuate the area.

 Contact the gas supplier or fire department.

 Installation, adjustment and repair work should be done by a qualified

technician.

 Regularly check flexible supply line. Make sure they are in good condition.

Replace damaged or leaking components.
