AND/ OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
C. Engine/ Fuel Warnings - "Don’ts" cont.
Don’t run engine when electrical system causes spark outside
the cylinder. During periodical checks of the spark plug, keep
plug a safe distance from cylinder to avoid burning of
evaporated fuel from cylinder.
Don’t check for spark with spark plug or plug wire removed
and grounded. Use an approved tester. Sparks can ignite
fumes.
Don’t crank engine with spark plug removed. If the engine is
flooded, open the choke and pull recoil until engine starts. If
this fails, read and follow the section “Operation” (Pg. 8).

debris around the muffler, and cooling fins.
