IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
WARNING
To prevent personal injury or property damage, do not attempt to start engine until all assembly
steps are complete and you have read and understand the safety and operating instructions in this
manual.
Under California law, and under laws of several other states, you are not permitted to operation
internal combustion’s engine using hydrocarbon fuels on any forest covered, brush covered, or
grass covered land, or on land with grain, hay, or other flammable agricultural crop, without an
engine spark arrester in continuous effective working order. The engine on your power equipment,
like most outdoor power equipment, is an internal combustion engine that burns gasoline, a
hydrocarbon fuel. Therefore, your power equipment must be quipped with a spark arrester muffler
in continuous effective working order. The spark arrester must be attached to the engine exhaust
system in such a manner that flames or heat from the system will not ignite flammable material.
Failure of the owner/operator of the equipment to comply with this regulation is a misdemeanor
under California law, and may also be a violation of other state and/or federal regulations, laws,
ordinances, or codes. Contact your local fire marshal or forest service for specific information
about what regulations apply in your area.
Wear approved safety glasses when operating this equipment. The operation of any powered
machine can result in foreign objects being thrown by high-speed rotating parts.
Wear work gloves, sturdy footwear, and hearing protection when operating this equipment.
Remove hearing protection and watch for traffic when operating near, or when crossing roadways.
Before inspecting or servicing any part of equipment, shut off engine, disconnect spark plug wire
from spark plug, and make sure that all moving parts have come to a complete stop. Be aware that
rotating blades slow down gradually after engine is shut off.
Exercise extreme caution on slopes and avoid excessively steep slopes.
Never leave equipment unattended when engine is running. Shut off engine and disconnect spark
plug wire from spark plug before leaving equipment. Turn off fuel shut-off if equipped.

three minutes.

Clean the area around the fuel fill cap and remove the cap from the fuel tank. Insert a clean funnel
into the fuel tank.
Fill the tank to 1/2 inch below the bottom of the filter neck to provide space for any fuel expansion.
Reinstall the fuel fill cap securely and wipe up any spilled gasoline.
Store fuel in containers specifically designed for these purposes.
