I. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please pay special attention to the following:
1. Strictly set the engine according to the regulated power on the owner's
manual. Do not overload, overspeed the engine or run it with low load
and at low speed in a long time.
2. Use specified grade of gasoline. The fuel should be fully deposited
and filtrated before use. Keep clean the fuel filler, change the oil
periodically.
3. Periodically check the installation, connection and the degree of
tightness of the fixed bolt. Tighten it if necessary.
4. Periodically clean the element of the air cleaner, change it when
necessary.
5. The engine is air-cooled, so clean the radiator, fan cover and fan in
time in order to make the engine cool normally.
6. The operator should be familiar with the working principle and structure
of the gasoline engine, knowing how to make an emergent stop and the
operation of all controlling parts. Any one without training is forbidden
to operate the engine. Keep periodical maintenance. Solve problems in
time. Do not run the engine in spite of malfunction.
7. Running the engine in a well -ventilated place, keep it at least one meter away
from building wall s or other equipments, keep away from inflammables such
as gasoline, matches and so on to avoid possibility of fire.
8. Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped, and in places
refueling or storing gasoline, no smoking and any flames or sparks.
9. Refuel the fuel tank not too full so as to avoid fuel’s spilling out. If there
is spilled fuel around, be sure to clean it thoroughly before starting.
10. Do not run the engine in airtight or ill-ventilated places.

WARNING˖
1. Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions.
2. Refueling in a well-ventilation area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke and allow
flames or sparks in the area where gasoline is stored or where the fuel tank is refueled.
3. Do not overfill the fuel tank (there should be no fuel in the filling neck). After
refueling, make sure the fuel tank cap is set back securely.
4. Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite. If any
fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the engine.
5. Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of fuel vapor. Keep out of
reach of children.

WARNING:
It will hurt personnel if not to correctly maintain engine and deal
with trouble before operation.

Only use unleaded gasoline and recommend gasoline grade

Unleaded gasoline can reduce gasoline engine carbon deposit and prolong the exhaust
system service life.
Never use contaminated gasoline or mixed gasoline with oil. Don’t allow the dust,
foreign matter or water entering into fuel tank.
Light knocking" or "spark exploding" sound can be hear when the engine overloading. It is
normal. Do not be worry about that.
If " knocking" or "spark exploding" sound occur at a steady speed under normal load, change
grade of gasoline; if such phenomena still happen, consult your dealer for help, otherwise the
engine may be damaged.

When the engine is running, continuously "Knocking" or "spark exploding" sound occurring
will damage engine. "Knocking" or "spark exploding" sound from misusing will not be within

xEngine lubrication oil is a key factor in deciding the engine’s performance. Do not apply
lubrication oil or 2-stroke gasoline engine oil, because they haven’t enough lubrication, and
may shorten the engines service life.

HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
At high altitude, the standard air-fuel mixture will be too rich. Performance
will decrease and fuel consumption will increase. A very rich mixture will
also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting. High altitude performance
can be improved by specific modifications to the carburetor. If you always
operate you engine at altitudes above 1800 meters, have your servicing
dealer perform this. Whether or no, the engine power will lower 3.5% in
increase each 305 meter.
CAUTION:
Modified engine applicable to altitude may be damaged seriously in area
below altitude of 1800 meters for overheating, because its mixture ratio is
too small for operation in low altitude area When the carburetor has been
modified for high altitude operation the air – fuel mixture will be to lean for
low altitude use. Operation at altitudes below 1800 meters with a modified
carburetor may cause the engine to overheat and result in serious engine
damage. Please have your servicing dealer for recovering to stander state.

2. Maintenance of air cleaner
A dirty air cleaner can restrict air flowing into the carburetor. To keep the carburetor in good
working conditions, please service the air cleaner periodically. If operating the engine in
extremely dusty area, the job should be done more often.
WARNING: Never clean the air cleaner element with gasoline or low flash-point
detergents, or explosion may happen.
CAUTION: Never run the engine without an air cleaner, because air with dirt and dust
entering the engine can speed up the engine wear.
1) Remove the air cleaner cover off and take the element out.
2) Wash the element with home detergents and warm water (or non-flammable or high
flash-point cleansing solvents) and dry up.
3) Soak in clean engine oil until saturated. Squeeze out excess oil, otherwise, the engine
will smoke in starting stage.
4) Reinstall the element and put the air cleaner cover on.
