CATALYTIC CONVERTER

Catalytic Converter:
This small engine is equipped with a catalytic converter in the
exhaust system to significantly reduce exhaust emissions. The
catalytic converter converts carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons
into harmless carbon dioxide and water.
The catalytic converter requires special care.
●
Use only unleaded gasoline. Never use leaded gasoline.
Leaded gasoline significantly reduces the capability of the
catalytic converter.
●
Do not use 2-stroke oil that contains Phosphorus (P), Lead
(Pb), or Sulfur (S). These elements will reduce the life and
performance of the catalytic converter.
●
Before shutting the engine off, allow it to idle for a short while.
NOTE
○
Never stop the engine during operation while running above
idle speed.
●
Shut off the engine and allow it to cool before transporting or
storing the unit.
●
Do not put the unit on dry grass or near any flammable object
unless the engine is cold or cooled down.
●
Use only recommended
genuine replacement parts to
avoid creating a hazard and/or
voiding your warranty.
●
Store in a dry area out of the
reach of children.
