• Allow muffler, engine cylinder and fins to cool
before touching.
• Remove accumulated combustibles from muffler
area and cylinder area.
• Install and maintain in working order a spark
arrester before using equipment on forest-covered,
grass-covered, brush-covered unimproved land.
The state of California requires this (Section 4442
of the California Public Resources Code). Other
states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply
on federal land.
Running engines produce heat. Engine
parts, especially muffler, become extremely
hot.
Severe thermal burns can occur on
contact.
Combustible debris, such as leaves, grass,
brush, etc. can catch fire.
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 spark plug wire and keep it away from
spark plug.
• Do not strike the flywheel with a hammer or hard
object because the flywheel may later shatter
during operation.
• Do not tamper with governor spring, links or other
parts to increase engine speed.
• Use only correct tools.
WHEN TESTING FOR SPARK
• Use approved spark plug tester.
• Do not check for spark with spark plug removed.
