READ THIS FIRST
For your safety, read this Owner's Manual and understand it thoroughly before operating this ENGINE.
WARNING
DO NOT run the engine in a closed area. Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and
deadly poison.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and can be explosive under certain condition.
Stop engine and allow the engine to cool before refueling.
DO NOT smoke. Make sure area is well ventilated and free from any source of flame or sparks including
the pilot light of any appliance while refueling, servicing fuel system, draining gasoline and/or adjusting
carburetor.
DO NOT fill the tank so the fuel level rises into the filler neck or level surface of level gauge. If the tank is
overfilled, heat may cause the fuel to expand and overflow through the vents in the tank cap.
Wipe off any spilled gasoline immediately.
To prevent fire hazard:
Keep the engine at least 1 m (3.3 ft) away from buildings, obstructions and other burnable objects.
DO NOT place flammable objects close to the engine.
DO NOT expose combustible materials to the engine exhaust.
DO NOT use the engine on any forest covered, brush covered or grass covered unimproved land unless
spark arrester is installed on the muffler.
To avoid getting an electric shock, DO NOT touch spark plugs, plug caps or spark plug leads during
engine running.
To avoid a serious burn, DO NOT touch a hot engine or muffler. The engine becomes hot during
operation. Before you service or remove parts, stop engine and allow the engine to cool.
DO NOT place hands or feet near moving or rotating parts. Place a protective cover over pulley, V
belt or coupling.
DO NOT run engine at excessive speeds. This may result in injury.
Always remove the spark plug caps from spark plugs when servicing the engine to prevent acci-
dental starting.
Read warning labels on the engine and understand them. If any label is missing, damaged, or worn, get a
replacement from your Kawasaki dealer and install it in the correct position.
