Engine Usage Instructions
Usage Instructions
Before using an Engine:
Check the engine oil level. Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage. The Oil Sensor will automatically stop the engine before the oil level falls below a safe limit. However, to avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, always check the engine oil level before engine start-up.
Check the air filter. A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the carburettor, reducing engine performance.
Check the fuel level. Starting with a full tank will help to eliminate or reduce operating interruptions for refuelling.
For engine speed recommendations, refer to the instructions provided with the equipment powering your engine.
Avoid storage areas for your engine (equipment) with high humidity, because that promotes rust and corrosion.
Warning
Run the engine in a well-ventilated place.
Keep it at least one meter away from building walls or other equipment.
Carbon monoxide gas is toxic. Breathing it can cause unconsciousness and even death.
Avoid working in any areas or actions that expose you to carbon monoxide. (Well ventilated)
The Operator of the engine has been trained to use the engine.
The exhaust muffler is very hot during running the engine even after the engine stops, so never touch it, or you may get burnt.
Keep the engine out of reach of children and pets to avoid accidents.
Water contacting a hot engine can cause damage. If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least half an hour before washing.
Fuel Safety is also important
Keep away from inflammables such as gasoline, matches and so on to avoid possibility of fire.
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine off.
When refuelling or storing your gasoline, please no smoking, flames or sparks.
Refuel the fuel tank not too full, to avoid fuel’s spilling out. If there is spilled fuel around, be sure to clean it thoroughly before starting the engine. (Flammable)
Engine must be on a level-working platform to avoid fuel’s spilling out.
Make sure the fuel filler cap is tightened securely.
Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of fuel vapour. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
The length of time that petrol can be left in your fuel tank and carburettor without causing functional problems will vary with such factors as fuel blend, your storage temperatures, and whether the fuel tank is partially or completely filled. The air in a partially filled fuel tank promotes fuel deterioration. Very warm storage, temperatures accelerate fuel deterioration. Fuel deterioration problems may occur within a few months, or even less if the petrol was not fresh when you filled the fuel tank.
