Sparking can ignite nearby flammable gases.

Explosion and fire could result.

• If there is natural or LP gas leakage in area, do not start engine.

• Do not use pressurized starting fluids because vapors are flammable.

WARNING

POISONOUS GAS HAZARD. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a

poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes. You CANNOT see it, smell it, or

taste it. Even if you do not smell exhaust fumes, you could still be exposed

to carbon monoxide gas. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using

this product, get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon

monoxide poisoning.

• Operate this product ONLY outside far away from windows, doors and vents to

reduce the risk of carbon monoxide gas from accumulating and potentially being

drawn towards occupied spaces.

• Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug-in carbon monoxide

alarms with battery back-up according to the manufacturer's instructions. Smoke

alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.

• DO NOT run this product inside homes, garages, basements, crawlspaces,

sheds, or other partially-enclosed spaces even if using fans or opening doors and

windows for ventilation. Carbon monoxide can quickly build up in these spaces

and can linger for hours, even after this product has shut off.

• ALWAYS place this product downwind and point the engine exhaust away from

occupied spaces.

WARNING

Rapid retraction of starter cord (kickback) will pull hand and arm toward engine

faster than you can let go.

Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could result.

pull rapidly to avoid kickback.

• Remove all external equipment / engine loads before starting engine.

• Direct-coupled equipment components such as, but not limited to, blades,

impellers, pulleys, sprockets, etc., must be securely attached.

WARNING

Rotating parts can contact or entangle hands, feet, hair, clothing, or

accessories.

Traumatic amputation or severe laceration can result.

• Operate equipment with guards in place.

• Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.

• Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.

• Do not wear loose-fitting clothing, dangling drawstrings or items that could become

caught.

WARNING

Running engines produce heat. Engine parts, especially muffler, become

extremely hot.

Severe thermal burns can occur on contact.

Combustible debris, such as leaves, grass, brush, etc. can catch fire.

• Allow muffler, engine cylinder and fins to cool before touching.

• Remove accumulated debris from muffler area and cylinder area.

• It is a violation of California Public Resource Code, Section 4442, to use or

operate the engine on any forest-covered, brush-covered, or grass-covered land

unless the exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester, as defined in Section

4442, maintained in effective working order. Other states or federal jurisdictions

may have similar laws. Contact the original equipment manufacturer, retailer, or

dealer to obtain a spark arrester designed for the exhaust system installed on this

engine.

WARNING

Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock.

Unintentional start-up can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation, or

laceration.

Fire hazard

• Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep it away from the spark plug.

• Disconnect battery at negative terminal (only engines with electric start.)

• Use only correct tools.

• Do not tamper with governor spring, links or other parts to increase engine speed.

• Replacement parts must be of the same design and installed in the same position

as the original parts. Other parts may not perform as well, may damage the unit,

and may result in injury.

• Do not strike the flywheel with a hammer or hard object because the flywheel may

later shatter during operation.

When testing for spark:

• Use approved spark plug tester.

• Do not check for spark with spark plug removed.

WARNING

Gaseous fuels are extremely flammable and readily form explosive air-vapor

mixtures at ambient temperatures.

If you smell gas:

• Do not start the engine.

• Do not actuate any electrical switches.

• Do not use a phone in the vicinity.

• Evacuate the area.

• Contact the gas supplier or fire department.

WARNING

Wear eye protection when doing repair work.

Frostbite can result from skin / eye contact with leaking LP liquid.

• Installation, adjustment and repair work should be done by a qualified technician.

• Regularly check flexible supply line. Make sure they are in good condition.

Replace damaged or leaking components.

WARNING

Missing or inoperative "fuel lock-off" valve can cause a fire or explosion.

Oil Recommendations

Oil Capacity: See the Specifications section.

NOTICE

Some engines are shipped from Briggs & Stratton with or without oil. Always make

sure that the engine has oil. If you start the engine without oil, it will be damaged

beyond repair and will not be included under the warranty.

We recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton

Warranty Certified oils for best

performance. Other high-quality detergent oils are permitted if classified for service SF,

SG, SH, SJ or higher. Do not use special additives.

Outdoor temperatures determine the correct oil viscosity for the engine. Use the chart

to select the best viscosity for the outdoor temperature range expected. Engines on

most outdoor power equipment operate well with 5W-30 Synthetic oil. For equipment

operated in hot temperatures, Vanguard

15W-50 Synthetic oil gives the best

protection.

A SAE 30 - Below 40 °F (4 °C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard starting.

B 10W-30 - Above 80 °F (27 °C) the use of 10W-30 may cause increased oil

consumption. Checkthe oil level frequently.

C 5W-30

D Synthetic 5W-30
