I, General

Safety

Precautions

• NEVER fillfuel tank indoors. Fill fuel tank outdoors
in a well-ventilated area.
• DO NOT smoke while refueling tank.
Use only an approved red GASOLINE container to
store and dispense fuel. Tecumseh recommends
purchasinggasoline in containerswith a capacity of
2.5 gallons or less. Small containersare easier to
handle and help eliminate spillage during refueling.

Read equipment manufacturer's manual and this
material thoroughly before using this engine. Failure to
do so can result in serious injuryor death. Call Tecumseh
Power Company at 1-800-558-5402 or visit
www.TecumsehPower.com if you have any questions.
A.

Avoid

Carbon

Monoxide

• DO NOT pour fuel from engine or siphonfuel by
mouth. To empty fuel tank see "1. Draining Fuel"
instructions on page 14.

Poisoning

All engine exhaust contains
carbon monoxide, a deadly
gas. Breathing carbon
monoxide can cause
headaches, dizziness,
drowsiness, nausea, confusion
and eventually death.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas
which may be present even if you do not see or smell any
engine exhaust. Deadly levels of carbon monoxidecan
collect rapidly and you can quickly be overcome and
unable to save yourself. Also, deadly levels of carbon
monoxide can linger for hours or days in enclosed or
poorly-ventilated areas. If you experience any symptoms of
carbon monoxide poisoning, leave the area immediately,
get fresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL TREATMENT.

• An adult shouldfuel this engine. NEVER allow
children to refuel this engine. See "B. Filling Fuel
Tank" instructionson page 4.
• An adult should perform maintenance on this
engine. See "VII. Maintenance" instructionson
page 11. Only allow childrento perform
maintenance if an adult has determined they are
experienced and capable of such operation.

NEVER runengine indoors. Even if you try to
ventilate engine exhaust with fans or open windows
and doors, carbon monoxide can rapidly reach
dangerous levels.

NEVER run engine outdoors where engine exhaust
can be drawn intoa buildingthrough openings such
as windows and doors.

Avoid Gasoline Fires

Gasoline (fuel) vapors are highly flammable
and can explode. Fuel vapors can spread
and be ignitedby a spark or flame many feet
away from engine. To prevent injuryor death
from fuel fires, follow these instructions:
• NEVER store engine with fuel in fuel
tank inside a building with potential
sources of ignition such as hot water and space
heaters, clothes dryers, electric motors, etc.
NEVER remove fuel cap or add fuel when engine is
running.

of Operation, Refueling

The manufacturerof the applicationmay provide
informationabout who is allowed to use this engine (see
equipment manufacturer's manual). Not everyone who is
allowed to use this engine is capable of safely and
responsibly operating, maintaining and/or fueling it.
Tecumseh recommends the following:

To prevent serious injuryor death from carbon monoxide:

NEVER run engine in poorly-ventilated or partially
enclosed areas such as barns, garages,
basements, carports, under dwellings,or in pits.

Adult Supervision
and Maintenance

• An adult should start the engine. See "G Avoid
AccidentalStarts" instructionson page 2. Only allow
children to start the engine if an adult has
determined they are experienced and capable of
such operation.
To avoid unsupervisedoperation of the engine, especially
by children, NEVER leave it unattended when it is running.
D.

Stay Away

from

Rotating

Parts

NEVER operate the engine with an unguarded engine
shaft.
The equipment manufacturer may attach
a sprocketand chain or pulley and belt to
the engine shaft. If these parts are not
properly guarded, or if you are not sure
whether they are preperlyguarded, DO
NOT use your engine; contact the
equipment manufacturer. Hands, feet,
hair, jewelry, clothing,etc. can become
entangled in rotating parts, leadingto
sedous injuryor death. To avoid serious
injuryor death, be sure the flywheel
guard is in place. See Figure 1,
on page 2.

NEVER start or operate the engine with fuel fill cap
removed.
• Allow engine to cool before refueling.

Do Not Modify Engine

To avoid serious injury or death, DO NOT modify engine in
any way. Tampering with the governor setting can lead to a
runaway engine and cause it to operate at unsafe speeds.
NEVER tamper with factory setting of engine governor.

Use of this engine on fun-carts, go-karts or mini-bikes
could result in serious injury or death. Tecumseh
manufactures the Power Sport line of engines for use in
such applications. Consult your local Authorized
Tecumseh Servicing Dealer, call 1-800-558-5402, or go
to www.TecumsehPower.com for additional information.

Avoid Burns and Fire from Hot Surfaces

Figure 1. DO NOT Use Without Flywheel Guard

The mufflerand other engine parts become
extremely hot during operation and remain
hot after the engine has stopped.
To avoid severe bums on contact,
NEVER operate the engine without
the mufflerguard in place and avoid
hot areas of the engine.

4=+
m

To reduce the risk of fire keep all materials that can
burn, includinggrass and leaves, away from muffler
and rest of engine. DO NOT operate, idle or park
the engine application in long dry grass or other dry
ground cover.

Avoid Accidental

Starts

Figure 2. Disconnecting/Connecting Spark Plug

To prevent accidental starting when working on equipment
always:
• Disconnect spark plug wire and keep it away from
spark plug. See Figures 2 and 3.
• Keep the disconnected spark plug wire
securely away from metal parts where arcing
could occur.
• Attach the spark plug wire to the grounding
post, if provided.
• Disconnect battery at negative terminal first, if
engine is equipped with an electric starter.
• Turn off all engine switches.

Figure 3. Typical Spark Plug Connection

• Remove ignitionkey, if provided.
H.

Use Hearing Protection

Engine noise may cause hearing damage. Always wear
hearing protection when operating an engine.

VIII. Transporting Your Engine

IX. Storing Your Engine

NEVER transport this engine inside
another vehicle or in any enclosed
space if there is any gasoline in the tank. Fuel vapor or
spilled fuel may ignite.
If there is fuel in the fuel tank, close
the fuel shut off valve, if equipped,
and transport the engine in an open vehicle, such as an
open trailer or open bed of a pickup truck.

A. Short TermlSeasonal Storage
I.

Before servicingthe engine remove the blower housing, tn
addition, remove grass clippings,dirt and debris from the
followingareas:
• Coolingfins
Air intake screen

If you do not have an open vehicle and have to transport
the engine in a closed vehicle, follow these steps for
emptying the fuel tank before transporting:
1.

Levers
Linkage
Guards

Empty fuel tank by using a commemially available suction device designed for use with gasoline.
DO NOT pour fuel from engine or
siphonfuel by mouth.

Drain fuel into an approved red GASOLINE container,
being careful to avoid spilling.

Run the engine until remaining fuel is consumed.

NEVER leave the engine
unattended when it is running and
NEVER runengine inencfosed areas.

Clean Engine

Carburetor
Head
Removing debris will facilitate adequate cooling, correct
engine speed and reduce the risk of fire.
II.

Fuel Storage

NEVER store engine with fuel in fuel
tank inside a building with potential
sources of ignition such as hot water and space heaters,
clothes dryers, electdc motors, etc. Failure to do so may
result in an explosion and result in death or serious injury.
NOTES
If engine fuel stored in the gas tank and/or an approved gas
container is to be unused without gasoline stabilizer for
more than 15-30 days, prepare it for short term/seasenal
storage. See 'YV Fuel Treatment" instructionson page 14.
If engine fuel is to be stored for more than one season,
without gasoline stabilizer,it will gradually deteriorate. Also,
if it is stored in the engine's gas tank without gasoline
stabilizer it is likely that your carburetor will have gum
deposits,a clogged fuel system and will voidyour warranty.
Prepare the fuel for extended storage. See "B. Extended
Storage" instructions on page 14.
If you operate the engine during all 4 seasons, it is not
necessary to lubricate the cylinder bore.

III. FueISystem

To avoid stale gas and carburetor problems, treat the fuel
system in the followingmethod below:

NOTES
Tecumseh recommends using ULTRA-FRESH TM or Fuel
Saver Plus Gasoline Stabilizer plus Fuel System Cleaner as
an acceptable method of minimizing formation of fuel gum
deposits during storage. This product is available from your
Authorized Tecumseh Servicing Deale_
Always follow mix ratio found on stabilizer container. Failure
to do so may result in equipment damage.
It is not necessary to drain stabilized gas from carburetor.
IV. Fuel Treatment

X. Preventing Forest, Brush and Grass
Fires
Local, state and federal laws may require use of a spark
arrester to prevent fires. For example, it is a violationof
California Public Resources Code (section 4442) to use or
operate engine on any forest-covered, brush-cevered or
unimproved grass-cevered land unless engine is equipped
with a spark attester. Spark attester must be maintained in
effective working order by owner and/or operator.
To determine if your engine has a spark arrester, locate the
muffler on your engine. For example, the mufflerdischarge
will have a spark arrester cover that reads "Tecumseh
Screen Type 36085".
If your engine does not have a spark arrester, you may
purchase one from your Authorized Tecumseh Servicing
Dealer• In some cases the mufflermay need to be replaced
to allow the spark arrester to be installed•
