Add Fuel
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
When adding fuel
• Turn engine off and let engine cool at least 2 minutes before removing the fuel
cap.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated area.
• Do not overfill fuel tank. To allow for expansion of the fuel, do not fill above the
bottom of the fuel tank neck.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition
sources.
• Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequently for cracks or leaks. Replace if
necessary.
• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
1. Clean the fuel cap area of dirt and debris. Remove the fuel cap.
2. Fill the fuel tank (A, Figure 4) with fuel. To allow for expansion of the fuel, do not
fill above the bottom of the fuel tank neck (B).
3. Install the fuel cap.
Start and Stop Engine
Start Engine
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
When Starting Engine
• Ensure that spark plug, muffler, fuel cap and air cleaner (if equipped) are in place
and secured.
• Do not crank engine with spark plug removed.
• If engine floods, set choke (if equipped) to OPEN / RUN position, move throttle (if
equipped) to FAST position and crank until engine starts.
WARNING
POISONOUS GAS HAZARD. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a
poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes. You CANNOT see it, smell it, or
taste it. Even if you do not smell exhaust fumes, you could still be exposed to
carbon monoxide gas. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using this
product, shut it off and get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may
have carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Operate this product ONLY outside far away from windows, doors and vents to
reduce the risk of carbon monoxide gas from accumulating and potentially being
drawn towards occupied spaces.
• Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug-in carbon monoxide
alarms with battery back-up according to the manufacturer's instructions. Smoke
alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.
• DO NOT run this product inside homes, garages, basements, crawlspaces,
sheds, or other partially-enclosed spaces even if using fans or opening doors and
windows for ventilation. Carbon monoxide can quickly build up in these spaces
and can linger for hours, even after this product has shut off.
• ALWAYS place this product downwind and point the engine exhaust away from
occupied spaces.
NOTICE This engine was shipped from Briggs & Stratton without oil. Before you
start the engine, make sure you add oil according to the instructions in this manual.
If you start the engine without oil, it will be damaged beyond repair and will not be
covered under warranty.
Determine The Starting System
Before starting the engine, you must determine the type of starting system that is on
your engine. Your engine will have one of the following types.
• ReadyStart
®
System: This features a temperature controlled automatic choke. It
does not have a primer.
• Electronic Fuel Management System: This features an Electronic Control Unit
that monitors engine and temperature conditions. It does not have a manual choke
or a primer.
• Choke System: This features a choke to be used for starting in cool
temperatures. Some models will have a separate choke control while others will
have a combination choke / throttle control. This type does not have a primer.
To start your engine, follow the instructions for your type of starting system.
Note: Equipment may have remote controls. See the equipment manual for location and
operation of remote controls.
