Safety Information

Gasoline and its vapors are extremely

flammable and explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe

burns or death.

WHEN ADDING FUEL

•Turn engine OFF and let engine cool at least

2 minutes before removing gas cap.

•Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated

area.

•Do not overfill fuel tank.

•Keep gasoline away from sparks, open

flames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition

sources.

•Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings

frequently for cracks or leaks. Replace if

necessary.

WHEN STARTING ENGINE

•Make sure spark plug, muffler, fuel cap and

air cleaner are in place.

•Do not crank engine with spark plug

removed.

•If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before

starting engine.

•If engine floods, set choke to OPEN/RUN

position, place throttle in FAST and crank

until engine starts.

WHEN OPERATING EQUIPMENT

•Do not choke carburetor to stop engine.

WHEN TRANSPORTING EQUIPMENT

•Transport with fuel tank EMPTY.

WHEN STORING GASOLINE OR

EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL IN TANK

•Store away from furnaces, stoves, water

heaters or other appliances that have pilot

light or other ignition source because they

can ignite gasoline vapors.

WARNING

Starting engine creates sparking.

Sparking can ignite nearby flammable

gases.

Explosion and fire could result.

•If there is natural or LP gas leakage in area,

do not start engine.

•Do not use pressurized starting fluids because

vapors are flammable.

WARNING

Gaseous fuels, such as liquid

petroleum gas (LPG) and natural

gas (NG), are extremely flammable

and can readily form explosive

air-vapor mixtures at moderate

temperatures.

WARNING

IF YOU SMELL GAS:

•DO NOT start the engine.

•DO NOT actuate any electrical switches.

•DO NOT use the phone in the vicinity.

•Evacuate the area.

•Contact the gas supplier or fire department.

REMEMBER:

•LPG vapor is heavier than air and tends to

collect in low areas. NG vapor is lighter then

air and tends to collect in high areas. Both may

travel to remote locations.

•Keep all flames, sparks, pilot lights and other

ignition sources away from the area where the

engine is operated or repaired.

•DO NOT smoke when operating or repairing

the engine.

•DO NOT store gasoline or other flammable

vapors or liquids in the vicinity of the engine.

•BEFORE doing any service work to the

engine, shut off the gas supply.

•After initial installation or servicing, check for

gas leaks. DO NOT use an open flame. Apply

very soapy water or leak test solution with a

brush and look for bubbles.

•Keep the equipment and the area surrounding

the engine free of debris.

•Install the fuel system according to applicable

fuel/gas codes.

WARNING

Engines give off carbon monoxide,

an odorless, colorless, poison gas.

Breathing carbon monoxide can

cause nausea, fainting or death.

•Start and run engine outdoors.

•Do not start or run engine in enclosed area,

even if doors or windows are open.

Rapid retraction of starter cord

(kickback) will pull hand and arm

toward engine faster than you can

let go.

Broken bones, fractures, bruises

or sprains could result.

•When starting engine, pull cord slowly until

resistance is felt, then pull rapidly.

•Direct coupled equipment components such

as, but not limited to, blades, impellers,

pulleys, sprockets, etc., must be securely

attached.

WARNING

Rotating parts can contact or en-

tangle hands, feet, hair, clothing, or

accessories.

Traumatic amputation or severe

laceration can result.

•Operate equipment with guards in place.

•Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.

•Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.

•Do not wear loose-fitting clothing, dangling

drawstrings or items that could become

caught.

•Allow muffler, engine cylinder and fins to cool

before touching.

•Remove accumulated debris 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

Before performing maintenance or repairs:

•Disconnect spark plug wire and keep it away

from spark plug.

•Disconnect battery at negative terminal (only

engines with electric start).

•Use only correct tools.

•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.

When testing for spark:

•Use approved spark plug tester.

•Do not check for spark with spark plug

removed.

Unintentional sparking can result in

fire or electric shock.

Fire or explosion can cause severe

burns or death.

Unintentional start-up can result in

entanglement, traumatic amputation,

or laceration.

WARNING

Wear eye protection when doing

repair work.

Frostbite can result from skin/eye

contact with leaking LP liquid.

•Installation, adjustment and repair work

should be done by a qualified technician.

•Flexible supply lines should be checked

regularly to make sure they are in good

condition. Replace damaged or leaking

components.

WARNING

Before Starting

Oil

Capacity

The engine holds approximately 80 oz (2.3 liters).

Oil Recommendation

•Use a high quality detergent oil classified “For

Service SG, SH, SJ, SL” or higher, such as Briggs

& Stratton 30, Part Number 100005 (20 oz) or

100028 (48 oz).

•Do not use special additives.

•Do not mix gasoline with oil.

•Choose a viscosity according to the table.

°F-20 0 20 40 60 80 100

STARTING TEMPERATURE RANGE ANTICIPATED BEFORE NEXT OIL

CHANGE

SAE Viscosity Grades

* Use of SAE 30 oil below 40°F (4°C) will result in

hard starting and possible engine damage due to

inadequate lubrication.

* * The use of non-synthetic multi-viscosity oils

(5W-30, 10W-30, etc.) in temperatures above 40°F

(4°C) will result in higher than normal oil

consumption. When using a multi-viscosity oil,

check oil level more frequently.

CAUTION

Note: Synthetic oil meeting ILSAC GF-2, API

certification mark and API service symbol (shown

at left) with “SJ/CF ENERGY CONSERVING” or

higher, is an acceptable oil at all temperatures.

Use of synthetic oil does not alter required oil

change intervals.

Adding Oil

1. First add 67 oz (2 liters).

2. Start and run engine at idle for 30 seconds.

See Starting Instructions.

3. Shut engine off and wait 30 seconds.
