Operating

Angle of Operation
Continuous operation at angles up to 25° with 1/2 full
fuel tank. Before operation check oil level to assure
crankcase oil level is correct. Refer to Check Oil Level.
Intermittent operation, up to one minute at angles up
to 30° with 1/2 full fuel tank. Check oil level to assure
crankcase oil level is correct. Refer to Check Oil Level.
Refer to the operating instructions of the equipment
this engine powers. Because of equipment design or
application, there may be more stringent restrictions
regarding the angle of operation.
NOTE: Do not operate this engine continuously
at angles exceeding 25° in any direction.
Engine damage could result from insufficient
lubrication.

Cooling

NOTE: If debris builds up on the debris screen
or other cooling areas, stop the engine
immediately and clean. Operating the engine
with blocked or dirty air intake and cooling
areas can cause extensive damage due to
overheating. Refer to Clean Air Intake/
Cooling Areas.
Hot Parts can cause severe burns.
Do not touch engine while operating or
just after stopping.
Engine components can get extremely hot from operation. To
prevent severe burns, do not touch these areas while the engine
is running, or immediately after it is turned off. Never operate
the engine with heat shields or guards removed.
Engine Speed
NOTE: Do not tamper with the governor setting
to increase the maximum engine speed.
Overspeed is hazardous and will void the
engine warranty. The maximum allowable
high idle speed for these engines is
3850 ± 100 RPM, no load.
