Explosive Fuel can cause fi res and severe
burns.
Do not fi ll fuel tank while engine is hot or
running.
Gasoline is extremely fl ammable and its vapors can
explode if ignited. Store gasoline only in approved
containers, in well ventilated, unoccupied buildings,
away from sparks or fl ames. Spilled fuel could ignite if it
comes in contact with hot parts or sparks from ignition.
Never use gasoline as a cleaning agent.

governor lever can be separated. Reattach bushings
to linkage following separation to avoid losing them.
