Note: The RMO deactivates each time the PTO is
disengaged. Remove the key to prevent access to the RMO.

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.

installed in the same position as the original parts.
Other parts may not perform as well, may damage the
unit, and may result in injury.
