Keep water out of the engine!
When washing the engine, cover the air inlet and
exhaust opening with tape to prevent water or
cleaning agent from getting inside the engine. Do
not wash the engine while it is running. If water or
cleaning agents get inside the combustion
chambers, the hammering action of water can
damage the engine.
Keep grit-laden air out of the
engine!
Dust and dirt entering the engine will cause early
wear of the moving parts. This could result in a
loss of power, high oil consumption, starting
problems, or other failures. Service the air filter as
instructed.
1. Do not service the air filter while the engine is
running.
2. When removing the air filter element for
service, prevent any dust from entering the air
intake to the cylinders.
