outdoors and not indoors. Any use not in accor-
dance with this designated use shall be regarded
as misuse.
This engine is intended solely for use in non-
commercial applications. Any other use (as well

garded as contrary to the intended use and will
result in exclusion of the warranty as well as loss

thus decline any responsibility for damage and/or
injury suffered by the user or third parties.
