STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
If your engine will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and in the carburetor, there is the possible hazard of gasoline vapor ignition.
Choose a well-ventilated storage area away from heat, sparks, ames, and any appliance that operates with a ame or spark such as
a furnace, water heater, or clothes dryer. Avoid any area with a spark-producing electric motor, garage door openers, or where power
tools are operated.
Avoid storage areas with high humidity which causes rust and corrosion. Leave the red fuel knob in the OFF position to reduce the
possibility of fuel leakage.
Position the equipment so the engine is level to avoid fuel or oil leakage. When the engine and exhaust system are cool, cover the
engine to keep out dust. A hot engine and exhaust system can ignite or melt certain materials. Do not use sheet plastic as a dust
cover. A nonporous cover can trap moisture around the engine causing rust and corrosion.
Removal From Storage
Check your engine as described in the BEFORE OPERATION chapter of this manual. If refueling is required, only use fresh gasoline.
TRANSPORTING
Transport only when engine is cool. A hot engine and exhaust system can burn you and can ignite some materials. Keep the engine
level when transporting to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage. Position the red fuel knob to the OFF position. Secure the engine to
prevent movement during transporting to prevent potential injury and damage to the engine.
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM INFORMATION
The U.S. and California Clean Air Acts
EPA and California regulations require all manufacturers to furnish written instructions describing the operation and maintenance of
emission control systems.
The following instruction and procedures must be followed in order to keep the emissions from your engine within the emission
standards.
Tampering and Altering
Tampering with or altering the emission control system may increase emissions beyond the legal limit. Among those acts that
constitute tampering are:
• Removal or alteration of any part of the intake, fuel or exhaust systems.
• Altering or defeating the governor linkage or speed-adjusting mechanism to cause the engine to operate outside its design
parameters.
