5.

Fuel Valve Lever – OPEN to let fuel flow, CLOSE to stop

 

the flow of fuel.

6.

Choke Lever – Used in the starting of a cold engine, or in

 

cold weather conditions. The choke enriches the fuel

 

mixture.

1. Fuel Filler Cap – Remove this cap to add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank. Make sure cap is tightened securely. DO NOT over fill.

DANGER Explosive

Fuel Hazard

Adding fuel to the tank should be done only when the engine is stopped and has had an opportunity to cool down. In the event of a fuel spill, DO NOT attempt to start the engine until the fuel residue

has been completely wiped up, and the area surrounding the engine is dry.

2.

Throttle Lever – Used to adjust engine RPM speed (lever

 

advanced forward - SLOW, lever back toward operator -

 

FAST).

3.

Recoil Starter (pull rope) – Manual-starting method. Pull

 

the starter grip until resistance is felt, then pull briskly and

 

smoothly.

4.

Starter Grip– Pull the starter grip until resistance is felt,

 

then pull briskly and smoothly to start engine.

7. Air Cleaner – Prevents dirt and other debris from entering the fuel system. Remove wing-nut on top of air filter cannister to gain access to filter element.

Operating the engine without an air

filter, with a damaged air filter, or a filter

NOTE in need of replacement will allow dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear.

 

WARNING

Burn Hazard

 

 

 

Enginecomponentscangenerateextremeheat. To prevent burns, DO NOT touch these areas while the engine is running or immediately after operating. NEVER operate the engine with the muffler removed.

8. Spark Plug – Provides spark to the ignition system. Set spark plug gap to 0.6 - 0.7 mm (0.028 - 0.031 inch) Clean spark plug once a week.

9. Muffler – Used to reduce noise and emissions.

10. Fuel Tank – Holds approximately 1 gallon (3.6 liters) of unleaded gasoline. For additional information refer to engine owner's manual.
