emitted from the engine exhaust could ignite surrounding materials, causing serious injury or
death.
CAUTION! EPA Compliant Gas Tanks Only: Always relieve all fuel pressure inside the tank prior
to filling or connecting fuel fittings. Failure to do so may result in fuel spillage.
EPA Compliant Gas Tanks Only: Disconnect the fuel tank when not in use, or engine flooding or
fuel spillage may result.

2. Turn the key switch to the START position and release. Release the key switch to the RUN position after the engine
starts.
3. When the engine starts, slowly open the choke all the way by moving the choke lever to the off position.

DANGER! Batteries expel explosive gases. Keep sparks, flames, burning cigarettes, or other
ignition sources away at all times. Always wear safety goggles and a face shield when working
near batteries. Failure to do so will cause serious injury.

chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands
after handling.
3.6 RPM Adjustments
WARNING! Remove the blade before performing any engine service. Failure to do so may result
in serious injury.
Check the RPM with a tachometer every 200 hours of operation.
Before checking the RPM, make sure belt and brake strap tensions are correct (See Sawmill Maintenance).
Check oil, fuel, and coolant levels.
Make sure the throttle cable does not affect the engine RPM when the clutch handle is disengaged. Make sure the cable is
not bent or kinked.
1. Start the engine to measure the low-end RPM.
2. Refer to the engine manual to adjust the low-end RPM.
3. Engage the clutch handle to throttle the engine and measure the high-end RPM.
The high-end RPM is factory-set at 3750. Readjust the throttle cable if necessary to increase or reduce the high-end engine
speed.
3.7 Miscellaneous Maintenance
Inspect the spark plugs every 100 hours of operation.
Remove any deposits and adjust gap if necessary.
Review the manufacturer's engine manual for maintenance intervals.
See engine manual for further information.
