•Exhaust emission are controlled by the funda-
mental engine parameters and components (eq.,
carburation, ignition timing and port timing) with-
out addition of any major hardware or the introduc-
tion of an inert material during combustion.
• These engines are certified to operate on unleaded
gasoline.
• If you use a gasoline of a lower octane value than pre-
scribed, there is a danger that the engine tempera-
ture may rise and an engine problem such as piston
seizing may consequently occur.
• Unleaded gasoline is recommended to reduce the
contamination of the air for the sake of your health and
the environment.
• Poor quality gasolines or oils may damage sealing
rings, fuel lines or fuel tank of the engine.
■ HOW TO MIX FUEL
WARNING
•Pay attention to agitation.
1. Measure out the quantities of gasoline and oil to be
mixed.
2. Put some of the gasoline into a clean, approved fuel
container.
3. Pour in all of the oil and agitate well.
4. Pour in the rest of gasoline and agitate again for at
least one minute. As some oils may be difficult to
agitate depending on oil ingredients, sufficient agi-
tation is necessary for the engine to last long. Be
careful that, if the agitation is insufficient, there is an
increased danger of early piston seizing due to ab-
normally lean mixture.
5.
Put a clear indication on the outside of the container
to avoid mixing up with gasoline or other containers.
6. Indicate the contents on outside of container for easy
identification.
■ FUELING THE UNIT
1. Untwist and remove the fuel cap. Rest the cap on a
dustless place.
2. Put fuel into the fuel tank to 80% of the full capacity.
3. Fasten the fuel cap securely and wipe up any fuel
spillage around the unit.
WARNING
1. Select flat and bare ground for fueling.
2. Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from the fu-
eling point before starting the engine.
3. Stop the engine before refueling the unit. At that
time, be sure to sufficiently agitate the mixed gaso-
line in the container.
■ FOR YOUR ENGINE LIFE, AVOID:
1. FUEL WITH NO OIL (RAW GASOLINE) – It will cause
severe damage to the internal engine parts very quickly.
4. OIL FOR 4-CYCLE ENGINE USE – It can cause spark
plug fouling, exhaust port blocking, or piston ring stick-
ing.
5. Mixed fuels which have been left unused for a pe-
riod of one month or more may clog the carburetor
and result in the engine failing to operate properly.
6. In the case of storing the product for a long period of
time, clean the fuel tank after rendering it empty. Next,
activate the engine and empty the carburetor of the
composite fuel.
7. In the case of scrapping the used mixed oil container,
scrap it only at an authorized repository site.

WAY OF THE COOLING AIR
• This engine is air-cooled. Dust clogging between the
inlet port of the cooling air and cylinder fins will cause
overheating of the engine. Periodically check and
clean the cylinder fins after removing the air cleaner
and the cylinder cover.
0.6~0.7 mm
TIGHTENING TORQUE: 14.7–21.5 N·m
SPARK PLUG
• Starting failure and misfiring are often caused by a
fouled spark plug. Clean the spark plug and check
that the plug gap is in the correct range. For a re-
placement plug, use the correct type.
IMPORTANT
•Note that using any spark plug other than those des-
ignated may result in the engine failing to operate prop-
erly or in the engine becoming overheated and dam-
aged.
•To install the spark plug, first turn the plug until it is
finger tight, then tighten it a quarter turn more with a
socket wrench.
GEAR CASE
• Supply multi-purpose grease at every 50 hours of use.
1. Use a grease pump.
2. Feed grease until it comes out of the base of blades.
(a) Grease nipple: A type
ADJUSTING THROTTLE CABLE
•The normal play is 1 or 2 mm when measured at the
carburetor side end. Readjust with the cable adjuster
as required and tighten the screw up.
