IMPORTANT: DO NOT OVERFILL! This

equipment and/or its engine may include

evaporative emissions control system

components, required to meet EPA and/or

CARB regulations, that will only function

properly when the fuel tank has been filled to

the recommended level. Overfilling may

cause permanent damage to evaporative

emissions control system components. Filling

to the recommended level ensures a vapor

gap required to allow for fuel expansion. Pay

close attention while filling the fuel tank to

ensure that the recommended fuel level

inside the tank is not exceeded. Use a

portable gasoline container with an

appropriately sized dispensing spout when

filling the tank. Do not use a funnel or other

device that obstructs the view of the tank

filling process.

4. Replace fuel cap and tighten.

5. ALWAYS clean up spilled fuel.

GASOLINE

IMPORTANT: ALWAYS use gasoline that

meets the following guidelines:

• Clean, fresh gasoline.

• A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91

RON). High altitude use may require a

different octane. Consult your engine

manual.

• Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol

(gasohol) or up to 15% MTBE (methyl

tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.

• Use of any gasoline other than those

approved above may void the engine

warranty. If the pumps are not marked

for the content of alcohol or ethers,

check ethanol and MTBE levels with

the fuel supplier.

• Do not modify the fuel system to use

different fuels.

• Never mix oil and gasoline.

NOTICE: All gasoline is not the same. If the

engine experiences starting or performance

problems after using a new gasoline, switch

to a different fuel provider or fuel brand.

IMPORTANT: Excessively oxygenated or

reformulated fuels (fuels blended with

alcohols or ethers) can damage the fuel

system or cause performance problems. If

any undesirable operating problems occur,

use a gasoline with a lower percentage of

alcohol or ether.

Fuel Stabilizer

Gasoline left in the fuel system for extended

periods without a stabilizer will deteriorate,

resulting in gum deposits in the system.

These deposits can damage the carburetor

and the fuel hoses, filter and tank. Prevent

deposits from forming in the fuel system

during storage by adding a quality fuel

stabilizer to the fuel. Follow the

recommended mix ratio found on the fuel

stabilizer container.

Start Engine

1. Make sure control lever is in neutral

position.

2. Move the engine switch to the ON

position.

3. Open the fuel shut off valve.

4. Set the choke lever based on engine

temperature

(see Choke Control Lever

(Item 3) on page 11).

5. Slowly pull the recoil starter until engine

compression makes pulling difficult. Let

the starter rewind a little, and then pull

smoothly and quickly to start the engine.

6. Repeat step 5 as needed.

7. Fully open the choke and set the throttle

to full fast before operating the unit.

Stop Engine

1. Return cylinder to fully retracted

position.

2. Move throttle lever to slow position.

3. Move the engine switch to the OFF.

4. Close the fuel shut-off valve.

TRANSPORTING UNIT

IMPORTANT: Check local, state and federal

laws before towing unit. Any modifications

required to meet these laws are the

responsibility of the purchaser.

Ensure that wheel bearings are well packed

with grease and that tires are inflated properly

before towing. To tow unit:

1. Place beam in horizontal position and

engage beam lock

(see Beam Assembly

Lock (Item 14) on page 12).

2. Move fuel shut-off valve to closed

position.

CAUTION: Unit can cause

serious injury if it rolls out of

control or tips over. Chock wheels

when unit is not attached to a tow

vehicle.
