How To Start The Engine

Engines give off carbon monoxide, an
odorless, colorless, poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can
cause nausea, fainting or death.
• Start and run engine outdoors.
• Do not start or run engine in enclosed area,
even if doors or windows are open.
Rotating parts and belts can contact
or entangle hands, feet, hair, clothing,
or accessories.
Traumatic amputation or severe
laceration can result.
• Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.
• Before starting the engine, raise the blade so
that it will not contact the ground.
CAUTION
This engine was shipped from the factory without
oil. If you start the engine without oil, the engine
will be damaged beyond repair and will not be
covered under warranty.
1 Before starting the engine, pull the clutch /depth
control lever (A) all the way back to raise and
disengage the blade. See Figure 11.
