hicle over anything that might burn
easily such as grass, leaves, paper
or rags.
NOTICE

flowing into the three- way catalytic
converter may cause it to overheat
and create a fire hazard. To prevent
this and other damage, observe the
following precautions:
z Use only unleaded gasoline.

fuel level; running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire, creat-
ing an excessive load on the three-
way catalytic converter.

idle speed for more than 20 min-
utes.
