SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
Operator Precautions
1. This product emits carbon monoxide, an invisible and odorless
toxin. Do not run this product indoors at any time.
2. Always turn engine off before adding fuel to the tank.
3. To avoid electrocution, do not touch the cap of the spark plug or

2. After starting the engine, keep the throttle at a low speed for
several minutes before running at full throttle.
3. Gasoline is an extremely flammable fuel. When operating,
keep away from any flames. Do not smoke while operating.

stroke engine oil at a mix ratio of 50:1.
xThis engine requires a mixture of high-quality gasoline and
2-stroke air cooled engine oil.
