E. DO NOT Modify Engine
To avoid serious injury or death, DO NOT modify engine in
any way. Tampering with the governor setting can lead to a
runaway engine and cause it to operate at unsafe speeds.
NEVER tamper with factory setting of engine governor.
! WARNING
F. Avoid Burns and Fire from Hot Surfaces
The muffler and other engine parts become
extremely hot during operation and remain
hot after the engine has stopped.
• To avoid severe burns on contact,
STAY AWAY from hot areas of
engine. DO NOT operate the engine
without the muffler guard in place, if
equipped. Tecumseh Power Company offers a
muffler guard for all 4-Cycle Snow King Engines.
Consult your local Authorized Tecumseh Servicing
Dealer or call 1-800-558-5402 for additional
information. See Figure 2.
• To reduce the risk of fire keep all materials that can
burn, including grass and leaves, away from muffler
and rest of engine. DO NOT operate, idle or park
engine powered equipment in long dry grass or
other dry ground cover.
G. Avoid Accidental Starts
To prevent accidental starting when working on equipment
always:
• Carefully disconnect spark plug wire and keep it
away from spark plug. See Figures 3 and 4.
• Keep the disconnected spark plug wire
securely away from metal parts where arcing
could occur.
• Carefully attach the spark plug wire to the
grounding post, if provided.
• Disconnect battery at negative terminal first, if
engine is equipped with a D.C. electric starter.
• Turn all engine switches to “OFF” position.
• Remove ignition key, if provided.
