For your safety, and to maximize the service life of your

equipment, it is very important to take a few moments before you

operate the engine to check its condition. Be sure to take care of

any problem you find, or have your servicing dealer correct it,

before you operate the engine.

Improperly maintaining this engine, or failure to

correct a problem before operation, can cause a

malfunction in which you can be seriously hurt or

killed.

Always perform a pre-operation inspection before

each operation, and correct any problem.

Before beginning your pre-operation checks, be sure the engine is

level and the engine switch is in the OFF position.

Always check the following items before you start the engine:

Look around and underneath the engine for signs of oil or

gasoline leaks.

Remove any excessive dirt or debris, especially around the

muffler and recoil starter.

Look for signs of damage.

Check that all shields and covers are in place, and all nuts, bolts,

and screws are tightened.

Check the fuel level (see page ). Starting with a full tank will

help to eliminate or reduce operating interruptions for refueling.

Check the engine oil level (see page ). Running the engine

with a low oil level can cause engine damage.

If the oil level in the crankcase falls below a safe limit, the Oil

Alert system will either shut off the engine or issue a warning.

However, to avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected

shutdown, always check the engine oil level before startup.

Check the equipment powered by this engine.

Review the instructions provided with the equipment powered

by this engine for any precautions and procedures that should

be followed before engine startup.

Check the air filter element (see page ). A dirty air filter

element will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine

performance.

The Oil Alert system is designed to prevent engine damage

caused by an insufficient amount of oil in the crankcase. Before

the oil level in the crankcase can fall below a safe limit, the Oil

Alert system will either shut off the engine or issue a warning.

Refer to the instructions provided by the equipment manufacturer.

If you continue to operate the engine after the Oil Alert system has

been activated, you can damage the engine.

If the engine stops and/or will not restart, check the oil level (see

page ) before troubleshooting in other areas.
