Inspect Muffler And Spark Arrester - Figure 16

WARNING

Running engines produce heat. Engine parts, especially muffler, become

extremely hot.

Severe thermal burns can occur on contact.

Combustible debris, such as leaves, grass, brush, etc. can catch fire.

Allow muffler, engine cylinder and fins to cool before touching.

•

Remove accumulated debris from muffler area and cylinder area.

•

Install and maintain in working order a spark arrester before using equipment on

•

forest-covered, grass-covered, brush-covered unimproved land. The state of

California requires this (Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code).

Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal land.

Inspect the muffler (A, Figure 16) for cracks, corrosion, or other damage. Remove the

muffler deflector (B), if equipped, and inspect for damage or carbon blockage. If

replacement parts are required, make sure to use only original equipment replacement

parts.

WARNING:

Replacement parts must be the same and installed in the same

position as the original parts or fire could result.

Air Filter

This engine is not equipped with an air filter. DO NOT use this engine for anything

Storage

WARNING

Gasoline and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.

When Storing Gasoline Or Equipment With Fuel In Tank

Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or other appliances that have pilot

•

lights or other ignition sources because they can ignite gasoline vapors.

Fuel System

Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel causes acid and gum

deposits to form in the fuel system or on essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh,

use Briggs & Stratton FRESH START

drip concentrate cartridge.

There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a fuel stabilizer is added according

to instructions. Run the engine for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout the fuel

system. The engine and fuel can then be stored up to 24 months.

If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel stabilizer, it must be drained into

an approved container. Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The use of a fuel

stabilizer in the storage container is recommended to maintain freshness.

Engine Oil

While the engine is still warm, change the engine oil.
