WARNING
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.
• Allow muffler, engine cylinder and fins to cool before
touching.
• Remove accumulated debris from muffler area and
cylinder area.
• Install and maintain in working order a spark arrester
before using equipment on forest-covered,
grass-covered, brush-covered unimproved land. The
state of California requires this (Section 4442 of the
California Public Resources Code). Other states
may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on
federal land.

Operator Safety
WARNING
Unintentional sparking can result in fire
or electric shock.
Unintentional start-up can result in
entanglement, traumatic amputation, or
laceration.
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 correct tools.
• Do not tamper with governor spring, links or
other parts to increase engine speed.
• 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 spark plug removed.
