SAFE OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

Before operating the engine for the first time, please review the
SAFETY INFORMATION section on page 2 and the BEFORE
OPERATION CHECKS on page 3.
Carbon Monoxide Hazards
For your safety, do not operate the engine in an enclosed area
such as a garage. Your engine's exhaust contains poisonous
carbon monoxide gas that can collect rapidly in an enclosed area
and cause illness or death.
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas
that can build up to dangerous levels in closed areas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause
unconsciousness or death.
Never run the engine in a closed, or even partly closed
area.
Review the instructions provided with the equipment powered by
this engine for any safety precautions that should be observed
with engine startup, shutdown, or operation.
Do not operate the engine on slopes greater than 20° (36%).

STARTING THE ENGINE

1. If the fuel tank is equipped with a valve, be sure the fuel valve
is in the OPEN or ON position before attempting to start the
engine.
2. Move the throttle control to the SLOW position.
Some engine applications use a remote-mounted throttle
control rather than the engine-mounted throttle control. Refer
to the instructions provided with the equipment
manufacturer.
3. Turn the engine switch to the ON position.
4. Operate the starter.
Turn the engine switch to the START position, and hold it
there until the engine starts.
If the engine fails to start within 5 seconds, release the engine
switch, and wait at least 10 seconds before operating the
starter again.
Using the electric starter for more than 5 seconds at a time
will overheat the starter motor and can damage it.
When the engine starts, release the engine switch, allowing it
to return to the ON position.
5. Warm up the engine for 2 or 3 minutes.
