Operating Instructions

Also read the operating instructions of the equipment this engine powers.

Inner Pull Configuration.

WARNING: Lethal Exhaust Gases!

Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide.

Carbon monoxide is odorless, colorless, and can cause death if

inhaled. Avoid inhaling exhaust fumes, and never run the

engine in a closed building or confined area.

Cold Weather Starting Hints

1. Be sure to use the proper oil for the temperature

expected. See Figure 2 on page 4.

2. Disengage all possible external loads.

3. Be sure the battery is in good condition. A warm

battery has much more starting capacity than a

cold battery.

4. Use fresh winter grade fuel. NOTE: Winter grade

gasoline has higher volatility to improve

starting. Do not use gasoline left over from

summer.

Starting

1. Place the throttle control midway between the

SLOW and FAST positions. Place the choke

control into the ON position. See Figures 7 and 8.

Outer Pull Configuration.

Pre-Start Checklist

• Check oil level. Add oil if low. Do not overfill.

• Check fuel level. Add fuel if low.

• Check cooling air intake areas and external

surfaces of engine. Make sure they are clean and

unobstructed.

• Check that the air cleaner components and all

shrouds, equipment covers, and guards are in

place and securely fastened.

• Check that any clutches or transmissions are

disengaged or placed in neutral. This is especially

important on equipment with hydrostatic drive.

The shift lever must be exactly in neutral to

prevent resistance which could keep the engine

from starting.

Throttle and Choke Control Linkage Setup

The throttle and choke levers on these engines allow

remote mounted control operation from either side.

The linkage for the throttle and choke is connected in

one of the two available hole locations; A or B in the

control levers. Hole location A in each lever is used for

Outer Pull actuation. Hole Location B used for Inner

Pull actuation. Most engines will have the control

linkage connected in Location A, the primary location.

If the application requires opposite side control

direction or function, unhook the link(s) from the

small clip and reconnect in the other hole location. See

Figures 5 and 6.
