Engine Speed WARNING 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. Running the engine faster than the speed set at the factory can be dangerous and will VOID THE ENGINE WARRANTY. I. Adjustments DO NOT make any engine adjustments. Factory settings are satisfactory for most conditions. If adjustments are needed, contact your Authorized TecumsehPower Servicing Dealer. VIII. Transporting Your Engine WARNING 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 leading to serious injury or death. If there is fuel in the fuel tank, close the fuel shut-off valve, if equipped, and transport the engine upright in an open vehicle, such as an open trailer or open bed of a pickup truck. If you do not have an open vehicle and have to transport the engine upright in a closed vehicle, follow these steps for emptying the fuel tank before transporting: 1. Empty fuel tank by using a commercially available suction device designed for use with gasoline. WARNING To avoid severe injury or death, DO NOT pour fuel from engine or siphon fuel by mouth. 2. Drain fuel into an approved red GASOLINE container, being careful to avoid spilling. 3. Run the engine until remaining fuel is consumed. WARNING NEVER leave the engine unattended when it is running and NEVER run engine in enclosed areas to avoid death or serious injury. 181-1032-14 Page 13
