BEFORE OPERATION
IS YOUR ENGINE READY TO GO?
For your safety, and to maximize the service life of your equipment, it
is very important to take a few moments before you operate the
engine to check its condition. Be sure to take care of any problem you
find, or have your servicing dealer correct it, before you operate the
engine.
Improperly maintaining this engine,
or failing to correct a problem
before operation, could cause a
malfunction in which you could be
seriously injured.
Always perform a preoperation
inspection before each operation,
and correct any problem.
Before beginning your preoperation checks, be sure the engine is level
and the ignition switch on the equipment is in the OFF position.
