flammable and explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns

or death.

WHEN ADDING FUEL

•Turn engine OFF and let engine cool at least 2

minutes before removing gas cap.

•Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated area.

•Do not overfill fuel tank.

•Keep gasoline away from sparks, open flames,

pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources.

•Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings

frequently for cracks or leaks. Replace if

necessary.

WHEN STARTING ENGINE

•Make sure spark plug, muffler, fuel cap and air

cleaner are in place.

•Do not crank engine with spark plug removed.

•If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before

WHEN TRANSPORTING EQUIPMENT

•Transport with fuel tank EMPTY.

WHEN STORING GASOLINE OR EQUIP-

MENT WITH FUEL IN TANK

•Store away from furnaces, stoves, water

heaters or other appliances that have pilot light

or other ignition source because they can ignite

gasoline vapors.

WARNING

This engine is shipped from Briggs & Stratton

without oil. If you start the engine without oil,

the engine will be damaged beyond repair and

will not be covered under warranty.

CAUTION

Starting engine creates sparking.

Sparking can ignite nearby flammable

gases.

Explosion and fire could result.

•If there is natural or LP gas leakage in area, do

not start engine.

•Do not use pressurized starting fluids because

vapors are flammable.

WARNING

Rapid retraction of starter cord (kickback)

will pull hand and arm toward engine

faster than you can let go.

Broken bones, fractures, bruises or

sprains could result.

•When starting engine, pull cord slowly until

resistance is felt, then pull rapidly.

•Direct coupled equipment components such as,

but not limited to, blades, impellers, pulleys,

sprockets, etc., must be securely attached.

WARNING

Rotating parts can contact or entangle

hands, feet, hair, clothing, or accessories.

Traumatic amputation or severe lacera-

tion can result.

•Operate equipment with guards in place.

•Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.

•Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.

•Do not wear loose-fitting clothing, dangling

drawstrings or items that could become caught.

WARNING

Engines give off carbon monoxide, an

odorless, colorless, poison gas.

Breathing carbon monoxide can cause

nausea, fainting or death.

•Start and run engine outdoors.

•Do not start or run engine in enclosed area,

even if doors or windows are open.

WARNING

•Allow muffler, engine cylinder and fins to cool

before touching.

•Remove accumulated debris from muffler area

and cylinder area.

arrester before using equipment on

forest-covered, grass-covered, brush-covered

unimproved land. The state of California

requires this (Section 4442 of the California

Public Resources Code). Other states may

have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal

land.

Running engines produce heat. Engine

parts, especially muffler, become

extremely hot.

Oil

Capacity

Engine holds approximately 3 ounces (90 ml).

Change oil after first 4 hours of use.

Oil Recommendation

•Use a high quality detergent oil classified “For

Service SF, SG, SH, SJ” or higher, such as Briggs &

Stratton SAE 30, Part Number 100091 (3.2oz) or

Briggs & Stratton Synthetic Oil, Part Number

100074.

•Do not use special additives.

•Choose a viscosity according to the table below.

°C-30 -20 -10 0 10 20 30 40

STARTING TEMPERATURE RANGE ANTICIPATED BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE

SAE Viscosity Grades

Air cooled engines run hotter than automotive engines.

The use of non-synthetic multi-viscosity oils (5W-30,

10W-30, etc.) in temperatures above 40°F (4°C) will

result in higher than normal oil consumption. When

using a multi-viscosity oil, check oil level more

frequently.

CAUTION

*Synthetic oil must be used when operating engine

under 40_F (4_C) or engine damage will occur.

CAUTION

** Use of SAE 30 oil below 50°F (10°C) will result in hard

starting and possible engine damage due to inadequate

lubrication.

CAUTION

Adding Oil

Engine must be level, with oil fill facing up, to

check oil. If engine is not level, dipstick reading will

not be accurate. This will lead to possible over or

under filling causing damage to the engine.

CAUTION

KEEP ENGINE LEVEL

•Check oil level before starting the engine.

•Check level daily, or after every eight (8) hours of

use.

•Keep oil level at FULL.

•DO NOT over fill. Use oil measure cup for filling.

•Add only half ounce to 1 ounce of oil at a time.
