To avoid serious injury or death, DO NOT modify engine in any way. Tampering with the governor setting can lead to a runaway engine and cause it to operate at unsafe speeds. NEVER tamper with factory setting of engine governor.

!WARNING

Use of this engine on fun-carts, go-karts, or mini-bikes can result in serious injury or death. TecumsehPower Company manufactures the Power Sport line of engines for use in such applications. Consult your local Authorized TecumsehPower Servicing Dealer, call 1-800-558-5402, or visit www.TecumsehPower.com for additional information.

F.Avoid Burns and Fire from Hot Surfaces

The muffler and other engine parts become extremely hot during operation and remain hot after the engine has stopped.

•To avoid severe burns on contact, STAY AWAY from hot areas of engine. DO NOT operate the engine without the muffler guard in place, if equipped.

•To reduce the risk of fire keep all materials that can burn, including grass and leaves, away from muffler and rest of engine. DO NOT operate, idle or park engine powered equipment in long dry grass or other dry ground cover.

G.Avoid Accidental Starts

To prevent accidental starting when working on equipment always:

•Carefully disconnect spark plug wire and keep it away from spark plug. See Figures 2 and 3.

•Keep the disconnected spark plug wire securely away from metal parts where arcing could occur.

•Carefully attach the spark plug wire to the grounding post, if provided.

•Disconnect battery at negative terminal first, if engine is equipped with a DC electric starter.

•Turn all engine switches to “OFF” position.

•Remove ignition key, if provided.

H.Use Hearing Protection

Engine noise may cause hearing damage. Always wear hearing protection when operating an engine.
