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.
NOTICE: Operating the engine without an air filter, with a damaged air filter, or a filter in
need of replacement will allow dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear.
WARNING
WARNING: 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.
