SAFETY INDICATION LOCATION
If any fuel is spilled, clean it up completely and allow petroleum
vapours to dissipate before starting the engine.
To ensure safe operation
Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks where the engine is
refueled or where gasoline is stored.
Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide. Avoid
inhalation of exhaust gases. Never run the engine in a closed
garage or confined area.
Do not place anything on the engine, as it may create a fire
hazard.
A spark arrester is available as an optional part for this engine. It
is illegal in some areas to operate an engine without a spark
arrester. Check local laws and regulations before operating.
The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot
for a while after stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch the
muffler while it is hot. To avoid severe burns or fire hazards, let
the engine cool before transporting it or storing it indoors.
Place the engine on a stable surface. Do not tilt the engine more
than 15° from horizontal. Operating at excessive angles may
result in fuel spillage.
READ OWNER’S MANUAL BEFORE OPERATION.
This indication warns you of potential hazards that can cause
