Maintenance Information - Briggs & Stratton 110000 Manuel D'utilisation

WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are flammable and explosive. Fire or explosion could result
in burns or death.
When you start the engine
• Make sure that the spark plug, muffler, fuel cap and air cleaner (if equipped)
are correctly installed.
• Do not crank the engine with the spark plug removed.
• If the engine is flooded, set the choke (if equipped) to the OPEN or RUN
position. Move the throttle (if equipped) to the FAST position and crank until the
engine starts.
• If there is natural or LP gas leakage in the area, do not start the engine.
• Because vapors are flammable, do not use pressurized starter fluids.
WARNING
POISONOUS GAS HAZARD. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a
poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes. Although you do not smell exhaust
fumes, you could still be exposed to dangerous carbon monoxide gas. If you feel
sick, dizzy, or weak while you use this product, get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY.
See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Carbon monoxide gas can collect in occupied spaces. To reduce the risk of
carbon monoxide gas, ONLY operate this product outdoors and far away from
windows, doors and vents.
• Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug-in carbon monoxide
alarms with battery back-up as specified by the manufacturer's instructions.
Smoke alarms cannot sense carbon monoxide gas.
• DO NOT operate this product in homes, garages, basements, crawlspaces,
sheds, or other closed spaces, even if you use fans or open doors and
windows for ventilation. After the operation of this product, carbon monoxide
can quickly collect in these spaces and stay for hours.
• ALWAYS put this product downwind and point the engine exhaust away from
occupied spaces.
NOTICE
This engine was shipped from Briggs & Stratton without oil. Equipment manufacturers
or dealers could have added oil to the engine. Before you start the engine for the
first time, make sure that the oil is at the correct level. Add oil as specified by the
instructions in this manual. If you start the engine without oil, damage will occur and the
engine will not be repaired under warranty.

ReadyStart and 1-Step Start System: These systems have a temperature
controlled automatic choke. It does not have a manual choke or a primer.
• Choke System: This system has a choke to be used in cool temperatures. It
does not have a primer.
To start your engine, follow the instructions for your type of starting system.

Maintenance

Maintenance Information

WARNING
During maintenance if it is necessary to tilt the unit, make sure that the fuel tank, if
mounted on the engine, is empty and that the spark plug side is up. If the fuel tank is not
empty, leakage can occur and could result in a fire or an explosion. If the engine is tilted
in a different direction, it will not easily start because of oil or fuel contamination of the air
filter or the spark plug.
We recommend that you see a Briggs & Stratton Authorized Service Dealer for all
maintenance and servicing of the engine and engine parts.
NOTICE
All the components used to build this engine must remain in place for correct operation.
