NEVER lift the machine while the engine is running.

STORAGE

DO NOT store engine in an enclosed or poorly ventilated area where fuel fumes may reach an open flame or spark from a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or similar devices.

DO NOT drain fuel in an enclosed or poorly ventilated area. DO NOT smoke when draining fuel.

DO NOT remove gas cap while engine is running. DO NOT park equipment on a steep grade or slope.

ALWAYS remove spark plug wire when servicing equipment to prevent accidental starting.

ALWAYS keep hands and feet away from moving or rotating parts. ALWAYS store fuel in approved safety containers.

If the equipment will not be used for 30 days or more, prepare as follows:

1.Make sure engine is cool.

2.Drain gasoline from carburetor and fuel tank to prevent gum deposits from forming.

3.Run engine until tank is empty and engine runs out of gas.

Fuel stabilizer (such as Sta-Bil) is an acceptable alternative for minimizing the formation of gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in storage container or fuel tank. Follow stabilizer manufacturer’s instructions to determine proper mix ratio. Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow it to reach carburetor.
