NOTE: Do not operate this engine continuously at

angles exceeding 20° in any direction. Engine

damage could result from insufficient

lubrication.

Cooling

NOTE: If debris builds up on the radiator, cooling

system, or other external areas, stop the

engine immediately and clean. Operating the

engine with blocked or dirty cooling system

areas can cause extensive damage due to

overheating. See Clean Air Intake/Cooling

Area, page 14.

High Temperature Sensor

Some engines are equipped with a high temperature

sensor mounted in the cooling system. If the safe

operating temperature is exceeded, it will either shut

off the engine or activate a warning signal, depending

on the application.

If the warning light illuminates or engine kills

indicating excessive operating temperatures:

1. Make sure all air intake and cooling surfaces are

clean and free of debris.

2. After engine has sufficiently cooled, check the

coolant level in system to make sure it is not low.

See Checking Coolant Level, page 10.

WARNING: Accidental Starts!

Disabling engine. Accidental starting can cause severe injury or death. Before working on the engine or equipment, disable

the engine as follows: 1) Disconnect the spark plug lead(s). 2) Disconnect negative (-) battery cable from battery.
