operation.
2. Fill the engine fuel tank and check the engine oil level.
Refer to the engine manual for detailed information.
3. Start the engine. Refer to the engine manual for detailed
information.
4. Let the engine warm up at half throttle. All sawing is
done at full throttle. The governor is factory set for the
correct engine speed. Do not change the Governor
setting – it is factory set for the correct speed.
WARNING: To STOP ENGINE, PUSH the
Engine Stop Switch DOWN, located on the

• Check that the engine oil level is correct. Because
the engine often operates at an angle, check the oil
level (with engine horizontal) frequently to ensure that
the oil level never falls below the lower mark on the
dipstick. 10W30 oil is recommended.
