OTHER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Do not touch the spark plug and ignition cable when starting and operating the engine.
• Never make adjustments on the machinery while it is connected to the engine, without first
removing the ignition cable from the spark plug. Turning the crankshaft by hand during
adjusting or cleaning might start the engine, and cause serious injury to the operator.
• Operate the engine on a stable, level surface.
If the engine is tilted, fuel spillage may result.
NOTE:
Operating the engine at a steep incline may cause seizure due to improper lubrication
even with a maximum oil level.
• Do not transport the engine with fuel in tank or with fuel strainer cock open.
• Do not move the engine while in operation when it has been removed from the equipment.
• Keep the unit dry (do not operate it in rainy conditions).
PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
• Carefully check fuel hoes and joints for looseness and fuel leakage. Leaked fuel creates a
potentially dangerous situation.
• Check bolts and nuts for looseness. A loose bolt or nut may cause serious engine trouble.
• Check the engine oil and refill if necessary.
• Keep cylinder fins and recoil starter free of dirt, grass and other debris.
• Wear sung fitting working clothes when operating the engine.
Loose aprons, towel, belt, etc., may be caught in the engine or drive train, causing a
dangerous situation.
