MAINTENANCE FUEL CAP, TANK, AND LINES STORING THE PRODUCT WARNING: Check for fuel leaks. A leaking fuel cap, tank, or line is a fire hazard and must be replaced immediately. If you find any leaks, correct the problem before using the product. Failure to do so could result in a fire that could cause serious personal injury. The fuel cap contains a non-serviceable filter and a check valve. A clogged fuel filter will cause poor engine performance. If performance improves when the fuel cap is loosened, check valve may be faulty or filter clogged. Replace fuel cap if required. SPARK PLUG REPLACEMENT This engine uses a Torch L7RTC or equivalent spark plug with .025 in. electrode gap. Use a recommended or equivalent replacement and replace annually. NOTICE: Be careful not to cross-thread the spark plug. Crossthreading will seriously damage the product. WARNING: While storing, keep at least 3 feet of clearance on all sides of this product, including overhead. Allow a minimum of 30 minutes of "cool down" time before storage. Heat created by muffler and exhaust gases could be hot enough to ignite combustible objects.  Clean all foreign material from the product. Store idle unit indoors in a dry, well-ventilated area that is inaccessible to children. Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden chemicals and de-icing salts.  Abide by all ISO and local regulations for the safe storage and handling of gasoline. When storing 1 month or longer:  Drain all fuel from tank into a container approved for gasoline. Run engine until it stops. HIGH ALTITUDE ENGINE OPERATION Your engine is configured for operation below 2000 feet altitude at the factory. Your engine must be reconfigured for operation above 2000 feet altitude. Operating the engine with the wrong engine configuration at a given altitude may increase its emissions, decrease fuel efficiency, degrade performance, and cause irreversible damage. Engines configured for high altitude operation cannot be operated in standard altitude conditions. A qualified service center should ensure that your engine is properly configured for your location. 11 - English

WARNING:
Check for fuel leaks. A leaking fuel cap, tank, or line is a
fire hazard and must be replaced immediately. If you find
any leaks, correct the problem before using the product.
Failure to do so could result in a fire that could cause
serious personal injury.
The fuel cap contains a non-serviceable filter and a check
valve. A clogged fuel filter will cause poor engine perfor-
mance. If performance improves when the fuel cap is loos-
ened, check valve may be faulty or filter clogged.
Replace
fuel cap if required.
SPARK PLUG REPLACEMENT
This engine uses a Torch L7RTC or equivalent spark plug with
.025 in. electrode gap. Use a recommended or equivalent
replacement and replace annually.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to cross-thread the spark plug. Cross-
threading will seriously damage the product.

HIGH ALTITUDE ENGINE OPERATION
Your engine is configured for operation below 2000 feet
altitude at the factory. Your engine must be reconfigured for
operation above 2000 feet altitude. Operating the engine
with the wrong engine configuration at a given altitude may
increase its emissions, decrease fuel efficiency, degrade
performance, and cause irreversible damage. Engines
configured for high altitude operation cannot be operated
in standard altitude conditions. A qualified service center
should ensure that your engine is properly configured for
