The engine (Figure 4) 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. The
engine shown above is a HONDA engine, operation for other

gasoline to the fuel tank. Make sure cap is tightened
securely. DO NOT over fill.
5. Fuel Valve Lever – OPEN to let fuel flow, CLOSE to stop
the flow of fuel.

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
