ON/STOP SWITCH
The ON/STOP switch is used to stop the engine. To stop the engine, push and release the engine ON/STOP switch.
PRIMER BULB

Muffler
CHOKE
The CHOKE helps to supply fuel to the engine to aid in cold starting. Activate the choke by moving the choke lever to the FULL CHOKE position.

FUELING ENGINE
WARNING: Remove fuel cap slowly when refueling.
This engine is certified to operate on un- leaded gasoline. Before operation, gasoline must be mixed with a good quality synthetic
DO NOT USE automotive oil or boat oil. These oils will cause engine damage. When mixing fuel, follow instructions printed on con- tainer. Once oil is added to gasoline, shake container momentarily to assure that the fuel is thoroughly mixed. Always read and follow
7
the safety rules relating to fuel before fueling your unit.
IMPORTANT
Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during stor- age. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage.
To avoid engine problems, empty the fuel sys- tem before storage for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season.
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner prod- ucts in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
See the STORAGE section for additional in- formation.

S To stop the engine, push and release the engine ON/STOP switch. The switch will automatically return to the ON position. Wait 5 seconds before attempting to restart unit to allow switch to reset.
SIf engine does not stop, move choke lever to FULL CHOKE position.
