of time with fuel in the tank or the carburetor.
ENGINE START/STOP CONTROL
This lawn mower comes equipped with an engine start/stop control to
prevent unintentional starting and to ensure safe operation. Releasing this
lever will quickly stop the blade in case of danger. The lever must be
actuated before the lawn mower is started. When the engine start/stop
lever is released, it must return to its initial position.
Before you start mowing, you should run through this process several
times in order to ensure that the lever and actuator cables are working
properly. Repeat the test several times after the engine has started up. When the engine start/stop Control
is released, the engine must stop within a few seconds. If not, contact Customer Service.
Warning: The blade begins to rotate as soon as the engine is started.

KIT HIGH ALTITUDE REPLACEMENT FOR EPAIII ENGINES
3000ft to 6000ft or 6000ft to 8000ft of elevation
﹡ At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be too rich. Performance will decrease
and fuel consumption will increase. A very rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard
starting. Operation at an altitude that differs from that at which this engine was certified, for extended
periods of time, may increase emissions.
﹡ The fuel system on this Engine or Equipment may be influenced by operation at higher altitudes.
Proper operation can be ensured by installing an altitude kit when required. See the table below to
determine when an altitude kit is required. Operating this generator without the proper altitude kit
installed may increase the engine's emissions and decrease fuel economy and performance. Kits may be
obtained from any dealer, and should be installed by a qualified individual.
