BEFORE OPERATION
Check the Engine
Check the Equipment Powered by This Engine
Check the engine oil level (see page ). Running the engine with a
low oil level can cause engine damage.
The Oil Alert system (applicable engine types) will automatically
stop the engine before the oil level falls below safe limits. However,
to avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, always
check the engine oil level before startup.
Check the air filter (see page ). A dirty air filter will restrict air flow
to the carburetor, reducing engine performance.
Review the instructions provided with the equipment powered by this
engine for any precautions and procedures that should be followed
before engine startup.
