• NEVER fill fuel tank indoors. Fill fuel tank outdoors

in a well-ventilated area.

I. General Safety Precautions

• DO NOT smoke while refueling tank.

! WARNING

• Use only an approved red GASOLINE container

to store and dispense fuel. TecumsehPower

Company recommends purchasing gasoline in

containers with a capacity of 2.5 gallons or less.

Small containers are easier to handle and help

eliminate spillage during refueling.

Read equipment manufacturer's manual and this

material thoroughly before using this engine. Failure to

do so can result in serious injury or death. Consult your

local Authorized TecumsehPower Servicing Dealer, call

1-800-558-5402, or go to www.TecumsehPower.com for

additional information.

• DO NOT pour fuel from engine or siphon fuel by

mouth. To empty the fuel tank, see "I. Draining Fuel"

instructions on page 14.

A. Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

C. Adult Supervision of Operation, Refueling

and Maintenance

All engine exhaust contains

carbon monoxide, a deadly

gas. Breathing carbon

The manufacturer of the equipment may provide

information about who is allowed to use this engine (see

equipment manufacturer’s manual). NOT everyone who is

allowed to use this engine is capable of safely and

responsibly operating, maintaining and/or fueling it.

TecumsehPower Company recommends the following:

monoxide can cause

headaches, dizziness,

drowsiness, nausea, confusion

and eventually death.

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas

which may be present even if you DO NOT see or smell

any engine exhaust. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can

collect rapidly and you can quickly be overcome and

unable to save yourself. Also, deadly levels of carbon

monoxide can linger for hours or days in enclosed or

poorly-ventilated areas. If you experience any symptoms of

carbon monoxide poisoning, leave the area immediately,

get fresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL TREATMENT.

• An adult should fuel this engine. NEVER allow

children to refuel this engine. See "B. Filling Fuel

Tank" instructions on page 5.

• An adult should perform maintenance on this

engine. See "VII. Maintenance" instructions on

page 11. Only allow children to perform mainte-

nance if an adult has determined they are

experienced and capable of such operation.

To prevent serious injury or death from carbon monoxide:

• An adult should start the engine. See "G. Avoid

Accidental Starts" instructions on page 2. Only

allow children to start the engine if an adult has

determined they are experienced and capable of

such operation.

• NEVER run engine indoors. Even if you try to

ventilate engine exhaust with fans or open windows

and doors, carbon monoxide can rapidly reach

dangerous levels.

• NEVER run engine in poorly-ventilated or partially

enclosed areas such as barns, garages,

basements, carports, under dwellings, or in pits.

• To avoid unsupervised operation of the engine,

especially by children, NEVER leave it unattended

when it is running. Remove ignition key, if equipped.

• NEVER run engine outdoors where engine exhaust

can be drawn into a building through openings such

as windows and doors.

D. Stay Away from Rotating Parts

NEVER operate the engine with an unguarded engine shaft

or flywheel. See Figure 1 on page 2.

B. Avoid Gasoline Fires

The equipment manufacturer may

attach a sprocket and chain or pulley

and belt to the engine shaft. If these

parts are NOT properly guarded, or if

you are NOT sure whether they are

properly guarded, DO NOT use your

engine; contact the equipment

manufacturer. Hands, feet, hair,

jewelry, clothing, etc.,can become

entangled in rotating parts, leading to

serious injury or death. To avoid

serious injury or death, be sure the

flywheel guard is in place. See Figure

1 on page 2.

Gasoline (fuel) vapors are highly flammable

and can explode. Fuel vapors can spread

and be ignited by a spark or flame many feet

away from engine. To prevent injury or death

from fuel fires, follow these instructions:

• NEVER store engine with fuel in fuel

tank inside a building with potential

sources of ignition such as hot water and space

heaters, clothes dryers, electric motors, etc.

• NEVER remove fuel fill cap or add fuel when engine

is running.

• NEVER start or operate the engine with the fuel fill

cap removed.

• Allow engine to cool before refueling.

Figure 1. DO NOT Use Without Flywheel Guard

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

• 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.

2. Remove spark plug.

3. Squirt 1oz. (30 ml) of clean engine oil into spark plug

hole.

4. Cover spark plug hole with rag to prevent fuel from

spraying from spark plug hole when starter rope is

pulled.

X. Preventing Forest, Brush and

Grass Fires

For engines equipped with electric starters proceed to Step 6.

5. Grasp starter cord handle:

a. Pull starter cord handle out slowly using a full arm

stroke.

Local, state and federal laws may require use of a spark

arrester to prevent fires. For example, it is a violation of

California Public Resources Code (section 4442) to use or

operate engine on any forest-covered, brush-covered or

unimproved grass-covered land unless engine is equipped

with a spark arrester. Spark arrester must be maintained in

effective working order by owner and/or operator.

b. Repeat once. (This will distribute oil throughout the

cylinder to prevent corrosion during storage.)

c. Proceed to Step 8.

6. Push starter button or turn ignition switch key to

“START” position (see equipment manufacturer’s

instructions) to cycle the engine for one to two seconds.

To determine if your engine has a spark arrester, locate the

muffler on your engine. For example, the muffler discharge

will have a spark arrester cover that reads “Screen Type

36085”.

7. Turn ignition switch key to “OFF” position. Repeat

Steps 6 and 7. (This will distribute oil throughout the

cylinder to prevent corrosion during storage.)

If your engine does NOT have a spark arrester, you may

purchase one from your Authorized TecumsehPower

Servicing Dealer. In some cases the muffler may need to

be replaced to allow the spark arrester to be installed.

8. Remove rag covering spark plug hole.

9. Install spark plug.

10. Carefully disconnect spark plug wire from grounding

post, if provided.

11. Connect spark plug wire to spark plug before attempting

to start engine.
