STABILIZER OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
Fuel stabilizer is a hazardous chemical. **
WARNING
• IF SWALLOWED, call physician immediately. Do not induce vomiting. If inhaled,
remove to fresh air. In case of eye or skin contact, flush with water for 15 minutes.
• Store unopened cartridges in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Keep open cartridge in
fuel cap and fuel cap closed on fuel tank when not in use.
** Fuel stabilizer contains: 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol (128-39-2) and aliphatic petroleum
distillate (64742-47-8).
• In case of emergency, contact a physician immediately and call 1-800-424-9300 for
material safety information.
Rapid retraction of starter cord (kickback) will pull hand and arm toward
engine faster than you can let go.
Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could result.
WARNING
• When starting engine, pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull
rapidly to avoid kickback.
• Remove all external equipment/engine loads before starting engine.
• Direct-coupled equipment components such as, but not limited to, blades, impellers,
pulleys, sprockets, etc., must be securely attached.
Rotating parts can contact or entangle hands, feet, hair, clothing, or
accessories.
Traumatic amputation or severe laceration can result.
WARNING
• Operate equipment with guards in place.
• Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.
• Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.
• Do not wear loose-fitting clothing, dangling drawstrings or items that could become
caught.
Running engines produce heat. Engine parts, especially muffler, become
extremely hot.
Severe thermal burns can occur on contact.
Combustible debris, such as leaves, grass, brush, etc. can catch fire.
WARNING
• Allow muffler, engine cylinder and fins to cool before touching.
• Remove accumulated debris from muffler area and cylinder area.
• Install and maintain in working order a spark arrester before using equipment on
forest-covered, grass-covered, brush-covered unimproved land. The state of
California requires this (Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code).
Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal land.
Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock.
Unintentional start-up can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation,
or laceration.
Fire hazard
WARNING
Before performing adjustments or repairs:
•
Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep it away from the spark plug.
• Disconnect battery at negative terminal (only engines with electric start.)
• Use only correct tools.
• Do not tamper with governor spring, links or other parts to increase engine speed.
• Replacement parts must be the same and installed in the same position as the
original parts.
• Do not strike the flywheel with a hammer or hard object because the flywheel may
later shatter during operation.
When testing for spark:
•
Use approved spark plug tester.
• Do not check for spark with spark plug removed.
