Engine Safety Precautions

If your product comes with a separate engine manual, be sure to read and follow all safety and warning precautions outlined there, in addition to any in this manual.

Preventing Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

  • Always start and run engine outdoors. Do not start or run engine in an enclosed area, even if doors or windows are open.
  • Never try to ventilate engine exhaust indoors. Carbon monoxide can reach dangerous levels very quickly.
  • Never run engine outdoors where exhaust fumes may be pulled into a building.
  • Never run engine outdoors in a poorly ventilated area where the exhaust fumes may be trapped and not easily taken away. (Examples include in a large hole or areas where hills surround your working area.)
  • Never run engine in an enclosed or partially enclosed area. (Examples include buildings that are enclosed on one or more sides, under tents, car ports or basements.)
    • Always run the engine with the exhaust and muffler pointed in the direction away from the operator.
  • Never point the exhaust muffler towards anyone. People should always be many feet away from the operation of the engine and its attachments.
  • Do not change the engine governor settings or over-speed the engine.

Gasoline Fires and Handling Fuel Safely

  • Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They are flammable and vapours are explosive.
  • When storing extra fuel be sure that it is in an appropriate container and away from any fire hazards.
  • Prevent fire and explosion caused by static electric discharge. Use only nonmetal, portable fuel containers approved by the Underwriter's Laboratory (U.L.) or the American Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM).
  • Always fill fuel tank outside in a well-ventilated area. Never fill your fuel tank with fuel indoors. (Examples include basement, garage, barn, shed, house, porch, etc.) Never fill tank near appliances with pilot lights, heaters, or other ignition sources. If the fuel must be drained, this should be done outdoors. The drained fuel should be stored in a container specifically designed for fuel storage or it should be disposed of carefully.
  • Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel with the engine running. Stop engine and allow to cool before filling.
  • Never drain fuel from engine in an enclosed area.
    • Always wipe up excess (spilled) fuel from engine before starting.
  • Clean up spilled fuel immediately. If fuel is spilled, do not start the engine but move product and fuel container from area. Clean up spilled fuel and allow to evaporate and dry after wiping and before starting.
  • Allow fuel fumes/vapours to escape from the area before starting engine.
  • Test the fuel cap for proper installation before starting and using engine.
    • Always run the engine with fuel cap properly installed on the engine.
  • Never smoke while refilling engine fuel tank.
  • Do not store engine with fuel in fuel tank indoors. Fuel and fuel vapours are highly explosive.
  • Never siphon fuel by mouth to drain fuel tank.
    • Always have an adult fill the fuel tank and never allow children to fill the fuel tank.
  • Never allow an adult or anyone under the influence of drugs or alcohol to fill the fuel tank.
  • When storing gasoline or equipment with fuel in the tank, store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or other appliances that have a pilot light or other ignition source because they can ignite gasoline vapours.

Operation

Plant Craft Titan 9 - Operation - 1

WARNING: Do not allow familiarity with this product to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.

WARNING: Always wear eye protection along with hearing protection. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes and other possible serious injuries.

WARNING: Do not use any attachments or accessories not recommended by the manufacturer of this product. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended can result in serious injury.

WARNING: Operation of this equipment could create sparks that can start fires around dry vegetation. A spark arrestor may be required. The operator should contact local fire agencies for laws or regulations relating to fire prevention requirements.

Using the Right Fuel

The use of old fuel is the most common cause of performance problems. Use only fresh, clean unleaded gasoline.

NOTICE: This unit has a four-cycle engine. DO NOT mix oil with gasoline.

Definition of Blended Fuels

Today's fuels are often a blend of gasoline and oxygenates such as ethanol, methanol, or MTBE (ether). Alcohol-blended fuel absorbs water. As little as 1% water in the fuel can make fuel and oil separate, forming acids when stored. ALWAYS use fresh fuel (less than 30 days old) with less than 10% ethanol. Dispose of old fuel according to federal, state, and local regulations.

Using Blended Fuels

If using a blended fuel:

• Always use fresh unleaded gasoline.
• Use the fuel additive STA-BILL ® or an equivalent.

Plant Craft Titan 9 - Using Blended Fuels - 1

WARNING: DO NOT USE E85 OR E15 FUEL IN THIS UNIT. It has been proven that fuel containing greater than 10% ethanol will likely damage this engine and void the warranty.

WARNING: Operate this unit only in a well-ventilated outdoor area. Carbon monoxide exhaust fumes can be lethal in a confined area.

Using the Right Oil Type

• Using the proper type and weight of oil in the crankcase is extremely important.
- Check the oil before each use and change the oil regularly. Failure to use the correct oil, or using dirty oil, can cause premature engine wear and failure.
• Use a high-quality SAE 10W-30 weight oil of API (American Petroleum Institute) service class SF, SG, SH.

Plant Craft Titan 9 - Using the Right Oil Type - 1

WARNING: Avoid accidentally starting the unit. To avoid serious injury, the operator and the unit must be in a stable position when pulling the starter rope.

WARNING: Do not operate the unit inside a closed environment, such as a room or building; breathing carbon monoxide from exhaust fumes can kill.

WARNING: Inspect unit before each use. Replace damaged parts. Check for fuel leaks. Make sure all fasteners are in place and secure. Replace cutting attachment parts that are cracked, chipped, or damaged in any way. Make sure the cutting attachment is properly installed and securely fastened. Make sure the cutting attachment shield is properly attached, and in the position recommended by the manufacturer.

CAUTION: Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all objects such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string which can be thrown or become entangled in the cutting attachment. Clear the area of children, bystanders, and pets outside a 50 ft (15 m) radius: there is still a risk of injury from thrown objects outside the 50 ft (15 m) zone. Bystanders should be encouraged to wear eye protection. If you are approached, stop the engine and cutting attachment. In the case of bladed units, there is the added risk of injury to bystanders from being struck with the moving blade.
