2.1 Starting The Engine
DANGER! Ensure the blade is disengaged and all persons are out of
the path of the blade before starting. Failure to do so will result in death

DANGER! Operate your engine only in well ventilated areas. The
exhaust gases of your engine can cause nausea, delirium, and poten-
tially death unless adequate ventilation is present.
DANGER! Never operate an engine with a fuel or oil leak. This is a fire
hazard, which may cause serious injury or death.
WARNING! Do not operate engine without proper and operational
spark arrester/muffler. Sparks emitted from the engine exhaust could
ignite surrounding materials, causing serious injury or death.
1. See the engine manufacturer’s manual for lubricating oil recommendations.

for below freezing starting.

3.1 Safety
Use caution when performing maintenance or service to the engine.

Avoid contact with any part of a hot engine. The exhaust components
of your engine are especially hot during and following operation. Con-
tact with hot engine components can cause serious burns. Therefore,
never touch or perform service functions on a hot engine. Allow the
engine to cool sufficiently before beginning any service function.
WARNING! Remove the blade before performing any engine service.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury.

when performing service functions. Proper safety equipment includes
eye protection, breathing protection, hand protection and foot protec-
tion.
