Before operation a complete check of the unit must be performed;
• Check unit for loose/missing nuts, bolts and screws. Tighten and/or replace as needed.
• Inspect guards and shield for damage and ensure that they are securely in place. Replace if they are damaged or miss-
ing.
• Do not operate the pump without an air filter. Rapid engine wear will result.
• Ventilating openings such as crankcase ducts, engine cover, air filter and muffler exhaust outlet must be cleaned peri-
odically and kept free of debris to ensure proper operation and adequate cooling of the engine and pump.
WARNING
Moving parts can amputate fingers or cause severe injuries. Keep hands, clothing and loose objects away from all
openings.
• ALWAys stop engine, disconnect spark plug, and make sure all moving parts have come to a complete stop
before removing obstructions, clearing debris, or servicing unit.
• DO NOT start or operate unit unless all guards and protective covers are properly assembled to unit.
• NEVER reach into any opening while the engine is running. Moving parts may not be visible through openings.
WARNING
Check fuel system for leaks due to fuel tank damage, especially if the unit is dropped. If damage or leaks are found,
do not use unit, otherwise serious personal injury or property damage may occur. Have unit repaired by an authorized
servicing dealer before using.

PRODUCT EMISSION DURABILITY (EMISSION COMPLIANCE PERIOD)
The 50 or 300 hour emission compliance period is the time span selected by the manufacturer certifying the engine
emissions output meets applicable emissions regulations, provided that approved maintenance procedures are fol-
lowed as listed in the Maintenance Section of this manual.
The emission control system for the engine is EM (engine
modification) and, if the second to last character of the Engine
Family on the Emission Control Information label (sample
below) is “C”, “K”, or “T”, the emission control system is EM
and TWC (3-way catalyst). The fuel tank/fuel line emission
control system is EVAP (evaporative emissions). Evaporative
emissions for California models are only applicable to fuel
tanks.
