WARNING
Engine exhaust IS HOT, and contains Carbon Monoxide (CO), a poison gas. Breathing CO can cause uncon-
sciousness, serious injury, or death. Exhaust can cause serious burns. ALWAYS position unit so that exhaust is
directed away from your face and body.
IMPORTANT
Use reduced speed only when performing light-duty tasks or to comply with local noise regulations. Continuous
low speed operation may allow fuel/oil residue to build-up on the piston and cause rapid build-up of carbon on
the spark arrestor screen, resulting in overheating and engine damage. To reduce harmful build-up, run engine at
wide open throttle for at least 5 minutes every hour, and inspect/clean the spark arrestor screen after approxi-
mately 40 hours of operation.
