AIR INDEX NO
To show compliance with California emission regulations, a hangtag has been SE
provided displaying the Air Index level and durability period of this engine. FI
DK
The Air Index level defines how clean an engine’s exhaust is over a period of
time. A bar graph scaled from “0” (most clean) to “10” (least clean) is used to RU
show an engine’s Air Index level. A lower Air Index level represents cleaner AR
exhaust from an engine.
The period of time (in hours) that the Air Index level is measured is known as
the durability period. Depending on the size of the engine, a selection of time
periods can be used to measure the Air Index level (see below).
Notice : This hangtag must remain on this engine or piece of equipment, and
only be removed by the ultimate purchaser before operation.

WARNING “WARNING” indicates a strong possibility of severe personal injury or loss of life if
instructions are not followed.
■ Never operate the engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated area, such as tunnel, cave,
etc.
US ■ Exercise extreme care when operating the engine near people or animals.
■ Do not remove fuel tank cap nor fill fuel tank while engine is hot or running.
Allow engine to cool at least 2 minutes before refueling.
■ If fuel is spilt, wipe it away carefully and wait until the fuel has dried before starting the
engine.
■ After refueling, make sure that the fuel cap is secured to prevent spillage.
■ Do not use around dry brush, twigs, cloth rags, or other flammable materials.
■ Keep cooling air intake (recoil starter area) and muffler side of the engine at least
1 meter (3 feet) away from buildings, obstructions and other burnable objects. 1m
■ Keep the engine away from flammables and other hazardous materials (trash, rags,
lubricants, explosives). 1m
■ Never make adjustments on the machinery while it is connected to the engine, without
first removing the ignition cable from the spark plug. Turning the crankshaft by hand
during adjusting or cleaning might start the engine, and cause serious injury to the
operator.
NOTE
Operating the engine at a steep incline may cause seizure due to improper lubrication
even with a maximum oil level.
■ Do not transport the engine with fuel in tank or with fuel strainer cock open.
■ Do not move the engine while in operation when it has been removed from the US
equipment.
■ Batteries generate hydrogen gas, which can be highly explosive. Do not smoke or
allow flames or sparks near a battery, especially during charging.
■ Check bolts and nuts for looseness. A loose bolt or nut may cause serious engine
trouble.
■ Check the fuel level and refill if necessary. Take care not to overfill the tank.
■ Keep cylinder fins and recoil starter free of dirt, grass and other debris.
Stop the engine before refueling. HOT, avoid touching the hot area.
