and filled with fuel prior to operation. Refer to the manufactur-
ers Engine manual for instructions & details of operation and
servicing.

. Fuel Filler Cap – Remove this cap to add unleaded gaso-
line to the fuel tank. Make sure cap is tightened securely.
DO NOT over fill.
5
. Fuel Valve Lever – OPEN to let fuel flow, CLOSE to stop
the flow of fuel.

filter, with a damaged air filter, or a
filter in need of replacement will allow
dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid
engine wear.
Adding fuel to the tank should be done only
when the engine is stopped and has had an
opportunity to cool down. In the event of a fuel
spill,
DO NOT attempt to start the engine until
the fuel residue has been completely wiped
up, and the area surrounding the engine is dry.
