OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE OPERATION
IS YOUR ENGINE READY TO GO?
For your safety, and to maximize the service
life of your equipment, it is very important to
take a few moments before you operate the
engine to check its condition. Be sure to take
care of any problem you find, or have your ser-
vicing dealer correct it, before you operate the
engine.
WARNING: Improperly maintaining this
engine, or failing to correct a problem before
operation, could cause a malfunction in which
you could be seriously injured. Always perform
a pre operation inspection before each opera-
tion, and correct any problem.
Before beginning your pre operation checks,
be sure the engine is level and the engine
switch is in the OFF position.
CHECK THE ENGINE
Check the engine oil level. Running the engine
with a low oil level can cause engine damage.
The Oil Alert system (applicable engine types)
will automatically stop the engine before the
oil level falls below safe limits. However, to
avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected
shutdown, always check the engine oil level
before startup.
Check the air filter. A dirty air filter will restrict
air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine
performance.
Check the fuel level. Starting with a full tank
will help to eliminate or reduce operating in-
terruptions for refueling.
