BEFORE OPERATION CHECKS

IS YOUR ENGINE READY TO GO?

For your safety, to ensure compliance with environmental
regulations, and to maximize the service life of your equipment, it
is very important to take a few moments before you operate the
engine to check its condition. Be sure to take care of any problem
you find, or have your servicing dealer correct it, before you
operate the engine.
Improperly maintaining this engine, or failure to
correct a problem before operation, can cause a
malfunction in which you can be seriously hurt or
killed.
Always perform a pre-operation inspection before
each operation, and correct any problem.
Before beginning your pre-operation checks, be sure the engine is
level and the engine switch mounted on the equipment powered
by this engine is in the OFF position.
Always check the following items before you start the engine:
Check the General Condition of the Engine
1. Before each use, look around and underneath the engine for
signs of oil or gasoline leaks.
2. Remove any excessive dirt or debris, especially around the
muffler and recoil starter.
3. Look for signs of damage.
4. Check that all shields and covers are in place, and all nuts,
bolts, and screws are tightened.
Check the Engine
1. Check the fuel level (see page 7). Starting with a full tank will
help to eliminate or reduce operating interruptions for
refueling.
2. Check the engine oil level (see page 8). Running the engine
with a low oil level can cause engine damage.
3. Check the air filter element (see page 9). A dirty air filter
element will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine
performance.
4. Check the equipment powered by this engine.
Review the instructions provided with the equipment powered
by this engine for any precautions and procedures that should
be followed before engine startup.
