Most accidents with engines can be prevented if you follow all

instructions in this manual and on the engine. Some of the most

common hazards are discussed below, along with the best way to

protect yourself and others.

Honda engines are designed to give safe and dependable service if

operated according to instructions. Read and understand this

owner’s manual before operating the engine. Failure to do so could

result in personal injury or equipment damage.

Know how to stop the engine quickly, and understand the operation

of all controls. Never permit anyone to operate the engine without

proper instructions.

Do not allow children to operate the engine. Keep children and pets

away from the area of operation.

Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapor can explode.

Refuel outdoors, in a well-ventilated area, with the engine stopped.

Never smoke near gasoline, and keep other flames and sparks away.

Always store gasoline in an approved container. If any fuel is spilled,

make sure the area is dry before starting the engine.

The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for

a while after stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch the muffler

while it is hot. Let the engine cool before storing it indoors.

To prevent fire hazards and to provide adequate ventilation for

stationary equipment applications, keep the engine at least 3 feet (1

meter) away from building walls and other equipment during

operation. Do not place flammable objects close to the engine.
