    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.

    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.

    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.
