WARNING
To avoid sparks and a possible explosion or fire due
to a short circuit, do not touch the positive (+) battery
terminal and any surrounding metal with tools, jewelry
or other metal objects. When installing battery cables,
connect the positive (+) cable first and the negative (-)
cable last.
WARNING
Gasoline and diesel fuels are highly
flammable and their vapors are
explosive. To prevent personal injury or
property damage:
Store fuel only in approved containers,
in well ventilated, unoccupied buildings,
away from sparks or flames. A container
with a capacity of 2 gallons or less with
a pouring spout is recommended. Do not fill the fuel
tank while the engine is hot or running, since spilled
fuel could ignite if it comes in contact with hot parts
or sparks from ignition. Do not start the engine near
spilled fuel. Never use fuel as a cleaning agent. DO
NOT MIX OIL WITH FUEL.
Use only those types of fuels that are recommended in
your engine owner’s manual.
To add fuel:
1. Stop engine, wait for all parts to stop moving and
disconnect spark plug wire. Remove key from key
switch. Allow the engine and muffler to cool for at least
three minutes.
2. Clean area around fuel fill cap and remove cap.
3. Using a clean funnel, fill fuel tank to 1/2” below bottom
of filler neck to provide space for any fuel expansion.
Install fuel fill cap securely and wipe up any spilled
gasoline.
You will need to purchase a battery. Choose a battery that meets
or exceeds the engine manufacturer’s specifications. Consult
your engine owner’s manual or authorized dealer for specifica-
tion details.

1. Open the battery box and insert battery into the battery
box.
2. Attach the positive (red) battery cable from the engine
to the positive (+) battery terminal.
3. Attach the negative (black) battery cable from the
