9. INITIAL STARTUP PROCEDURE

Check before operation

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 fi nd, or have your
servicing dealer correct it, before you operate the engine.
Before beginning your preoperation checks, be sure the engine is level and the engine switch is in the OFF
position.
Check the General Condition of the Engine
• Look around and underneath the engine for signs of oil or gasoline leaks.
• Remove an/ excessive dirt or debris, especially around the muffl er and recoil starter.
• Look for signs of damage.
• Check that all shields and covers are in place, and all nuts, bolts, and screws are tightened.
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 fi lter. A dirty air fi lter will restrict air fl ow to the carburetor, reducing engine performance.
Check the fuel level. Starting with a full tank will help to eliminate or reduce operating interruptions for refueling.
Check the Equipment Powered by This Engine
Review the instructions provided with the equipment powered by this engine for any precautions and procedures
that should be followed before engine startup.
