2 Safety References The safety alert symbol is used to identify safety information about hazards that can result in personal injury. A signal word (DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION) is used with the alert symbol to indicate the likelihood and the potential severity of injury. In addition, a hazard symbol may be used to represent the type of hazard. DANGER indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. WARNING indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. CAUTION indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, might result in minor or moderate injury. CAUTION, when used without the alert symbol, indicates a situation that could result in damage to the engine. This manual contains safety information to make you aware of the hazards and risks associated with engines, and how to avoid them. Because Briggs & Stratton does not necessarily know what equipment this engine will power, it is important that you read and understand these instructions and the instructions for the equipment this engine powers.

4 Operator Safety Gasoline and its vapors are extremely 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 starting engine. •If engine floods, set choke to OPEN/RUN position, place throttle in FAST and crank until engine starts. WHEN OPERATING EQUIPMENT •Do not choke carburetor to stop engine. WHEN TRANSPORTING EQUIPMENT •Transport with fuel tank EMPTY. WHEN STORING GASOLINE OR EQUIPMENT 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 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 Fresh Start Fuel Cap •IF SWALLOWED, call physician immediately. Do not induce vomiting. If inhaled, remove to fresh air. In case of eye or skin contact, flush with water for 15 minutes. •Store unopened cartridges in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Keep open cartridge in fuel cap, and fuel cap closed on fuel tank when not in use.Contents are HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED. Avoid contact to eyes, skin, or clothing. Do not take internally. Avoid breathing the mist or vapor. Overexposure to eyes or skin can cause irritation. KEEP STABILIZER OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. Fuel stabilizer is a hazardous chemical.** •In case of emergency, contact a physician immediately. •For material safety information call 1-800-424-9300 DANGER ** Fuel stabilizer contains: 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol (128-39-2) and aliphatic petroleum distillate (64742-47-8). Your engine may be equipped with a Fresh Start Fuel Cap Cartridge is shown with tab partially removed.
5 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. •Remove all external equipment/engine loads before starting engine. •Direct coupled equipment components such as, but not limited to, blades, impellers, pulleys, sprockets, etc., must be securely attached. WARNING 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 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. •Install and maintain in working order a spark 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. Severe thermal burns can occur on contact. Combustible debris, such as leaves, grass, brush, etc. can catch fire. Before performing maintenance or repairs: •Disconnect spark plug wire and keep it away from spark plug. •Disconnect battery at negative terminal (only engines with electric start). •Use only correct tools. •Do not strike the flywheel with a hammer or hard object because the flywheel may later shatter during operation. •Do not tamper with governor spring, links or other parts to increase engine speed. When testing for spark: •Use approved spark plug tester. •Do not check for spark with spark plug removed. Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock. Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death. Unintentional start-up can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation, or laceration. WARNING
