READ THIS FIRST
For your safety, read this Owner's Manual and understand it thoroughly before operating this ENGINE.
DANGER
Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless poisonous gas. Inhaling carbon
monoxide can cause serious brain injury or death. DO NOT run the engine in enclosed areas. Op-
erate only in a well-ventilated area. Gasoline is extremely flammable and can be explosive under
certain conditions, creating the potential for serious burns. When refueling, servicing fuel system,
draining gasoline and/or adjusting the carburetor: Stop engine and allow it to cool before refueling.
DO NOT smoke. Make sure the area is well-ventilated and free from any source of flame or sparks,
including the pilot light of any appliance. DO NOT fill the tank so the fuel level rises into the filler
neck or level surface of level gauge. If the tank is overfilled, heat may cause the fuel to expand and
overflow through the vents in the tank cap. Wipe off any spilled gasoline immediately. Engines can
become extremely hot during normal operation. To prevent fire hazard: Keep the engine at least 1
m (3.3 ft) away from buildings, obstructions and other flammable objects. DO NOT place flammable
objects close to the engine. DO NOT expose combustible materials to the engine exhaust. DO NOT
use the engine on any forest covered, brush covered or grass covered unimproved land unless
spark arrester is installed on the muffler. To avoid getting an electric shock, DO NOT touch spark
plugs, plug caps or spark plug leads during engine running. To avoid a serious burn, DO NOT touch
a hot engine or muffler. The engine becomes hot during operation. Before you service or remove
parts, stop engine and allow the engine to cool. DO NOT place hands or feet near moving or rotat-
ing parts. Place a protective cover over pulley, V belt or coupling. DO NOT run engine at excessive
speeds. This may result in injury. Always remove the spark plug caps from spark plugs when ser-
vicing the engine to prevent accidental starting.
Read warning labels which are on the engine and understand them. If any label is missing, damaged, or
worn get a replacement from an authorized Kawasaki engine dealer and install it in the correct position.
