1. Look around and underneath the engine for signs of oil or gasoline leaks.
2. Remove any excessive dirt or debris, especially around the muffler and recoil starter.
3. Look for signs of damage.
4. Check that all shields and covers are in place, and all nuts, bolts, and screws are tightened.
Check the Engine
1. Check the fuel level. Starting with a full tank will help to eliminate or reduce operating interruptions
for refueling.
2. Check the engine oil level. Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage.
The Oil Alerts system (applicable types) will automatically stop the engine before the oil level falls
below safe limits. However, to avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, always check the
engine oil level before startup.
3. Check the reduction case oil level on applicable types. Oil is essential to reduction case operation
and long life.
4. Check the air filter element. A dirty air filter element will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing
engine performance.
5. Check the equipment powered by this engine.
Review the instructions provided with the equipment powered by this engine for any precautions and
procedures that should be followed before engine startup.
