For engine maintenance, follow the engine manufacture's recommendations
precisely as stated in the engine manual.

Keep all guards, shields, and all safety devices in place and in safe working
condition.
Frequently check for worn or deteriorating components that could create a
hazard.
All replacement parts must be the same as or equivalent to the parts supplied as
