30°. Check oil level to assure crankcase oil level is at

the ‘IF” mark.

Refer to the operating instructions of the equipment

this engine powers. Because of equipment design or

application, there may be more stringent restrictions

regarding the angle of operation.

NOTE: Do not operate this engine continuously at

angles exceeding 30” in any direction.

Engine damage could result from insufficient

lubrication.

other cooling air intake areas, stop the engine

immediately and clean. Operating the engine

with blocked or dirty air intake and cooling

areas can cause extensive damage due to

overheating.
