SAFETY
WARNING
Rotating parts can contact or entangle hands, feet,
hair, clothing, or accessories.
Traumatic amputation or severe laceration 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
Running engines produce heat. Engine parts,
especially muffler, become extremely hot.
Severe thermal burns can occur on contact.
Combustible debris, such as leaves, grass,
brush, etc. can catch fire.
• Allow muffler, engine cylinder and fins to cool before
touching.
• Remove accumulated combustibles from muffler area
and cylinder area.
• Install and maintain in working order a spark arrester
before using equipment on forest-covered, grass-cov-
ered, 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.
WARNING
Unintentional sparking can result in fire or
electric shock.
Unintentional start-up can result in entangle-
ment, traumatic amputation, or laceration.
BEFORE PERFORMING ADJUSTMENTS OR REPAIRS
• Disconnect spark plug wire and keep it away from spark
plug.
• Disconnect battery at negative terminal (only engines
with electric start).
WHEN TESTING FOR SPARK
• Use approved spark plug tester.
• Do not check for spark with spark plug removed.

ENGINE INFORMATION
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
POWER RATINGS: The power ratings for an individual engine
model are initially developed by starting with SAE (Society of Auto-
motive Engineers) code J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque
Rating Procedure) (Revision 2002-05). Given both the wide array
of products on which our engines are placed, and the variety of en-
vironmental issues applicable to operating the equipment, it may
be that the engine you have purchased will not develop the rated
horsepower when used in a piece of power equipment (actual “on-
site” power). This difference is due to a variety of factors including,
but not limited to, the following: differences in altitude, tempera-
ture, barometric pressure, humidity, fuel, engine lubrication, maxi-
mum governed engine speed, individual engine to engine variabil-
ity, design of the particular piece of power equipment, the manner
in which the engine is operated, engine run-in to reduce friction
and clean out of combustion chambers, adjustments to the valves
and carburetor, and other factors. The power ratings may also be
adjusted based on comparisons to other similar engines utilized
in similar applications, and will therefore not necessarily match the
values derived using the foregoing codes.
