■
Do not touch the spark plug and ignition cable when starting and operating the engine
Never make adjustments on the machinery while it is connected to the engine, withou
first removing the ignition cable from the spark plug. Turning the crankshaft by han
during adjusting or cleaning might start the engine, and cause serious injury to th
operator.
■
Operate the engine on a stable, level surface.
If the engine is tilted, fuel spillage may result.
NOTE
Operating the engine at a steep incline may cause seizure due to improper lubrication
even with a maximum oil level.
■
Do not transport the engine with fuel in tank or with fuel strainer cock open.
■
■
Do not move the engine while in operation when it has been removed from the
equipment.
US
Keep the unit dry (do not operate it in rainy conditions).
WARNING
: WHEN CHARGING THE BATTERY
■
■
Battery electrolyte contains sulphuric acid. Protect your eyes, skin and clothing. In
case of contact, flush thoroughly with water and get prompt medical attention,
especially if your eyes are affected.
Batteries generate hydrogen gas, which can be highly explosive. Do not smoke or
allow flames or sparks near a battery, especially during charging.
■
■
Charge the battery in a fully ventilated location.
Be sure to confirm Battery polarity.
CAUTION
: PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
■
■
Carefully check fuel hoses and joints for looseness and fuel leakage. Leaked fuel
creates a potentially dangerous situation.
Check bolts and nuts for looseness. A loose bolt or nut may cause serious engine
trouble.
■
■
■
■
Check the engine oil and refill if necessary.
Check the fuel level and refill if necessary. Take care not to overfill the tank.

(1) Clean off carbon deposits on the spark plug electrode
using a plug cleaner or wire brush.
A dirty air cleaner element will cause starting difficulty, power
loss, engine malfunctions, and shorten engine life extremely.
Always keep the air cleaner element clean.
(2) Check electrode gap. The gap should be 0.6 mm to 0.7
mm (0.02 inch.-0.03 inch.). Adjust the gap, if necessary,
