WARNING:
While operating and storing, keep at least 3 feet of
clearance on all sides of this product, including overhead.
Allow a minimum of 30 minutes of "cool down" time
before storage. Heat created by muffler and exhaust
gases could be hot enough to cause serious burns and/
or ignite combustible objects.
OPERATION
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
Your engine is configured for operation below 1500 feet
altitude at the factory. Your engine must be reconfigured for
operation above 1500 feet altitude. Operating the engine
with the wrong engine configuration at a given altitude may
increase its emissions, decrease fuel efficiency, degrade
performance, and cause irreversible damage. Engines
configured for high altitude operation cannot be operated
in standard altitude conditions. A qualified service center
should ensure that your engine is properly configured for
your location.
