INITIAL SERVICING
The engine (Figure 2) must be checked for proper lubrication and
filled with fuel prior to operation. Refer to the manufacturers Engine
manual for instructions & details of operation and servicing.
1. Fuel Filler Cap – Remove this cap to add unleaded
gasoline to the fuel tank. Make sure cap is tightened
securely. DO NOT over fill.
Adding fuel to the tank should be accomplished only
when the engine is stopped and has had an
opportunity to cool down. In the event of a fuel spill,
DO NOT attempt to start the engine until the fuel residue has been
completely wiped up, and the area surrounding the engine is dry.
2. Throttle Lever – Used to adjust engine RPM speed (lever
advanced forward
SLOW , lever back toward operator
FAST ).
3. Engine ON/OFF Switch – ON position permits engine
starting, OFF position stops engine operations.
4. Recoil Starter (pull rope) – Manual-starting method. Pull
the starter grip until resistance is felt, then pull briskly and
smoothly.
5. Fuel Valve Lever – OPEN to let fuel flow, CLOSE to stop
the flow of fuel.
6. Choke Lever – Used in the starting of a cold engine, or in
cold weather conditions. The choke enriches the fuel
mixture.
7. Air Cleaner – Prevents dirt and other debris from entering
the fuel system. Remove wing-nut on top of air filter
cannister to gain access to filter element.
8. Spark Plug – Provides spark to the ignition system. Set
spark plug gap to 0.6 - 0.7 mm (0.028 - 0.031 inch) Clean
spark plug once a week.
9. Muffler – Used to reduce noise and emissions.
Engine components can generate extreme heat.
To prevent burns, DO NOT touch these areas
while the engine is running or immediately after operating. NEVER
operate the engine with the muffler removed.
10. Fuel Tank – Holds unleaded gasoline. For additional
information refer to engine owner's manual.
