Engine prestart checks

Inspect equipment before starting it. Check that air cleaner components and all shrouds,
equipment covers, and guards are in place and securely fastened. Engine must be cold and on a
level surface. If any problems are found, do not use equipment until fixed properly. The fluids
need to be checked daily.

This unit has a low oil level shutdown switch to prevent starting an engine that is

shuts down. Before each use check the oil level and do not use the low oil level
shutdown system to monitor oil level.
Your Warranty is "invalid" if the engine is not properly filled before each use
