Pay special attention to statement preceded by the following words.  
“WARNING” indicates a strong possibility of severe personal injury or loss of life if  
instructions are not followed.  
WARNING  
CAUTION  
“CAUTION” indicates a possibility of personal injury or equipment damage if instructions  
are not followed.  
WARNING  
: EXHAUST PRECAUTIONS  
Never inhale exhaust gasses.  
They contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless and extremely dangerous gas  
which can cause unconsciousness or death.  
Never operate the engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated area, such as tunnel, cave,  
etc.  
US  
Exercise extreme care when operating the engine near people or animals.  
Keep the exhaust pipe free of foreign objects.  
WARNING  
: REFUELING PRECAUTIONS  
Gasoline is extremely flammable and its vapors can explode if ignited.  
Do not refuel indoors or in a poorly ventilated area.  
Be sure to stop the engine prior to refueling.  
Do not remove fuel tank cap nor fill fuel tank while engine is hot or running.  
Allow engine to cool at least 2 minutes before refueling.  
Do not overfill the fuel tank.  
If fuel is spilt, wipe it away carefully and wait until the fuel has dried before starting the  
engine.  
After refueling, make sure that the fuel cap is secured to prevent spillage.  
: FIRE PREVENTION  
WARNING  
Do not operate the engine while smoking or near an open flame.  
Do not use around dry brush, twigs, cloth rags, or other flammable materials.  
Keep cooling air intake (recoil starter area) and muffler side of the engine at least  
1 meter (3 feet) away from buildings, obstructions and other burnable objects.  
1 m  
Keep the engine away from flammables and other hazardous materials (trash, rags,  
lubricants, explosives).  
1 m  
WARNING  
: OTHER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
Place the protective covers over the rotating parts.  
If rotating parts such as the drive shaft, pulley, belt, etc. are left exposed, they are  
potentially hazardous. To prevent injury, equip them with protective covers or shrouds.  
Be careful of hot parts.  
The muffler and other engine parts become very hot while the engine is running or  
just after it has stopped. Operate the engine in a safe area and keep children away  
from the running engine.

Do not touch the spark plug and ignition cable when starting and operating the engine
Never make adjustments on the machinery while it is connected to the engine, withou
first removing the ignition cable from the spark plug. Turning the crankshaft by han
during adjusting or cleaning might start the engine, and cause serious injury to th
operator.  
Operate the engine on a stable, level surface.  
If the engine is tilted, fuel spillage may result.  
NOTE  
Operating the engine at a steep incline may cause seizure due to improper lubrication  
even with a maximum oil level.  
Do not transport the engine with fuel in tank or with fuel strainer cock open.  
Do not move the engine while in operation when it has been removed from the  
equipment.  
US  
Keep the unit dry (do not operate it in rainy conditions).  
WARNING  
: WHEN CHARGING THE BATTERY  
Battery electrolyte contains sulphuric acid. Protect your eyes, skin and clothing. In  
case of contact, flush thoroughly with water and get prompt medical attention,  
especially if your eyes are affected.  
Batteries generate hydrogen gas, which can be highly explosive. Do not smoke or  
allow flames or sparks near a battery, especially during charging.  
Charge the battery in a fully ventilated location.  
Be sure to confirm Battery polarity.  
CAUTION  
: PRE-OPERATION CHECKS  
Carefully check fuel hoses and joints for looseness and fuel leakage. Leaked fuel  
creates a potentially dangerous situation.  
Check bolts and nuts for looseness. A loose bolt or nut may cause serious engine  
trouble.  
Check the engine oil and refill if necessary.  
Check the fuel level and refill if necessary. Take care not to overfill the tank.  
Keep cylinder fins and recoil starter free of dirt, grass and other debris.  
Wear snug fitting working clothes when operating the engine.  
Loose aprons, towels, belt, etc., may be caught in the engine or drive train, causing a  
dangerous situation.

(See Fig.7 y,u)  
-
-
(1) Clean off carbon deposits on the spark plug electrode  
using a plug cleaner or wire brush.  
A dirty air cleaner element will cause starting difficulty, power  
loss, engine malfunctions, and shorten engine life extremely.  
Always keep the air cleaner element clean.  
(2) Check electrode gap. The gap should be 0.6 mm to 0.7  
mm (0.02 inch.-0.03 inch.). Adjust the gap, if necessary,

Remove the element and wash it in kerosene or diesel  
fuel. Then saturate it in a mixture of 3 parts kerosene or  
diesel fuel and 1 part engine oil. Squeeze the element  
to remove the mixture and install it in the air cleaner.

Clean by tapping gently to remove dirt and blow off dust.  
Never use oil. Clean the paper element every 50 hours  
of operation, and replace element set every 200 hours.  
(2) Re-install the drain plug before refilling oil.  
OIL CAPACITY : EX13/17/21: 0.6 liter

5. CLEANING FUEL CUP  
(See Fig. 7-t)  
Replace the fuel hose every 1,000 hours or every year.  
If fuel leaks from fuel hose, replace the fuel hose immediately.  
WARNING Flame Prohibited  
(1) Inspect fuel cup for water and dirt.  
(See Fig.7-t

8. CHECKING BOLTS, NUTS AND SCREWS  
Retighten loose bolts and nuts.  
(2) To remove water and dirt, close the fuel cock and remove  
the fuel cup.  
Check for fuel and oil leaks.  
(3) After removing dirt and water, wash the fuel cup with  
kerosene or gasoline. Reinstall securely to prevent  
leakage.  
Replace damaged parts with new ones.

(2) As for restarting and operating the engine, refer to section  
(2) Choke (close choke lever) and pull the starter handle  
five or six times. Remove the plug and check if its  
electrode is wet. If the electrode is wet, fuel is well  
supplied to your engine.  
“5. OPERATING YOUR ENGINE” on page 6 .  
Check the wire connector from the engine. It must be  
connected securely to the wire from oil sensor.  
(3) When the electrode is dry, check where the fuel stops.  
(Check the fuel intake of the carburetor.)  
When selecting the engine oil, refer to page 5 for the  
recommended oil.  
(4) In case the engine does not start with well supplied fuel,  
try using fresh fuel.
