W ARNING: DO
1. ALW AYS DO remove the wire from the spark plug when servicing the engine or equipment TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL STA RTING.
2.D O keep cylinder fins and governor parts free of grass and other debris which can affect engine speed.
3.D O pullstarter cord slowly until resis- tance is felt. Then pull cord rapidly to avoid kickback and prevent hand or arm injury.
4.D O examine muffler periodically to be sure it is functioning effectively.A worn or leaking muffler should be repaired or replaced as necessary.
8.DO NOT operate engine if gasoline is spilled. Move machine away from the spill and avoid creating any ignition until the gasoline has evaporated.
