Engine Location
Place the engine in a well-ventilated area . DO NOT
place the engine near vents or intakes where exhaust
fumes could be drawn into occupied or confined
spaces . Carefully consider wind and air currents when
positioning engine .

2 . Turn the engine switch to “ON” position .
3 . Rotate the fuel valve to the “ON” position (to the left)
(Item A) .

OPERATION
Stopping the Engine
1 . Turn the ignition switch to the “Off” position .
2 . Turn the fuel knob to the “Off” position .
If the engine starts but does not run make certain
that the engine is on a flat, level surface . The
engine is equipped with a low oil sensor that will
prevent the engine from running when the oil level
falls below a critical threshold .
NOTE
Keep choke lever in “Choke” position for only 1
pull of the recoil starter . After first pull, move choke
lever to the “Run” position for up to the next 3
pulls of the recoil starter . Too much choke leads to
sparkplug fouling/engine flooding due to the lack of
incoming air . This will cause the engine not to start .
