The operator should contact local fire agencies for laws
or regulations relating to fire prevention requirements.
At high altitudes, the engine’s carburetor, governor (if so

allow efficient high-altitude use and to prevent damage to
the engine and any other devices used with this product.

ability to perform the following procedures, have a
qualified service technician perform the installation.
2. Install this engine on a lawn mower only.
3. Set the Engine upright on the mower, and align at
least three 3/8” diameter coarse threaded engine
mounting holes with mower mounting holes.
NOTE: Depending on the mower, it may be necessary
to drill mounting holes or make a mounting plate
to align with the engine mounting holes. Only a
qualified technician should attempt these solutions.

stainless steel Bolts, Lock Washers, and Washers (not
