• When starting engine, pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then

pull rapidly to avoid kickback.

WARNING

Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.

When Starting Engine

• Ensure that spark plug, muffler, fuel cap and air cleaner (if equipped) are in place

and secured.

• Do not crank engine with spark plug removed.

• If engine floods, set choke (if equipped) to OPEN or RUN position, move throttle (if

equipped) to FAST position and crank until engine starts.

WARNING

POISONOUS GAS HAZARD. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a

poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes. You CANNOT see it, smell it, or

taste it. Even if you do not smell exhaust fumes, you could still be exposed to

carbon monoxide gas. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using this

product, shut it off and get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may

have carbon monoxide poisoning.

• Operate this product ONLY outside far away from windows, doors and vents to

reduce the risk of carbon monoxide gas from accumulating and potentially being

drawn towards occupied spaces.

• Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug-in carbon monoxide

alarms with battery back-up according to the manufacturer's instructions. Smoke

alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.

• DO NOT run this product inside homes, garages, basements, crawlspaces,

sheds, or other partially-enclosed spaces even if using fans or opening doors and

windows for ventilation. Carbon monoxide can quickly build up in these spaces

and can linger for hours, even after this product has shut off.

• ALWAYS place this product downwind and point the engine exhaust away from

occupied spaces.

NOTICE

This engine was shipped from Briggs & Stratton without oil. Before you

start the engine, make sure you add oil according to the instructions in this manual.

If you start the engine without oil, it will be damaged beyond repair and will not be

covered under warranty.

Note: Equipment may have remote controls. See the equipment manual for location and

operation of remote controls.

Check the engine oil. See the Check Oil Level section.

Make sure equipment drive controls, if equipped, are disengaged.

Move the fuel or ignition lever (A, Figure 7), if equipped, to the on or start position.

Move the throttle control (B, Figure 7), if equipped, to the fast position. Operate the

engine in the fast position.

Move the choke control (C, Figure 7, 8) to the closed position.

Note: Choke is usually unnecessary when restarting a warm engine.

Move the stop switch (E, Figure 8), if equipped, to the on position.

Rewind Start, if equipped: Firmly hold the starter cord handle (D, Figure 7, 8).

Pull the starter cord handle slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly.

WARNING

Rapid retraction of the starter cord (kickback) will pull your hand and arm toward the

engine faster than you can let go. Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could

result. When starting engine, pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and

then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.

Electric Start, if equipped: Turn the electric start switch (F, Figure 8) to the on or

start position.

NOTICE

To extend the life of the starter, use short starting cycles (five seconds

maximum). Wait one minute between starting cycles.

As the engine warms up, move the choke control (C, Figure 7, 8) to the open

position.

Note: If the engine does not start after repeated attempts, contact a local dealer or go to

VanguardEngines.com or call 1-800-999-9333 (in USA).

Stop Engine

WARNING

Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.

• Do not choke the carburetor to stop the engine.

Stop Switch, if equipped: Move the stop switch (E, Figure 8) to the stop position.

Fuel and Ignition Lever, if equipped: Move the fuel and ignition lever (A, Figure

7) to the off or stop position.

Electric Start, if equipped: Remove the key. Keep the key out of reach of

children.

Maintenance

NOTICE

If the engine is tipped during maintenance, the fuel tank, if mounted on

engine, must be empty and the spark plug side must be up. If the fuel tank is not

empty and if the engine is tipped in any other direction, it may be difficult to start due

to oil or gasoline contaminating the air filter and/or the spark plug.

WARNING

When performing maintenance that requires the unit to be tipped, the fuel tank, if

mounted on the engine, must be empty or fuel can leak out and result in a fire or

explosion.

We recommend that you see any Briggs & Stratton Authorized Service Dealer for all

maintenance and service of the engine and engine parts.

NOTICE

All the components used to build this engine must remain in place for

proper operation.

WARNING

Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock.

Unintentional start-up can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation, or

laceration.

Fire hazard

Before performing adjustments or repairs:

• Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep it away from the spark plug.

• Disconnect battery at negative terminal (only engines with electric start).

• Use only correct tools.

• Do not tamper with governor spring, links or other parts to increase engine speed.

• Replacement parts must be of the same design and installed in the same position

as the original parts. Other parts may not perform as well, may damage the unit,

and may result in injury.

• Do not strike the flywheel with a hammer or hard object because the flywheel may

later shatter during operation.

When testing for spark:

• Use approved spark plug tester.

• Do not check for spark with spark plug removed.

Emissions Control Service

Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emissions control devices and

systems may be performed by any off-road engine repair establishment or

individual. However, to obtain "no charge" emissions control service, the work must be

performed by a factory authorized dealer. See the Emissions Control Statements.
