WARNING
Contact with hot surfaces may cause personal
injury.

parts away from the muffler and other hot surfaces.
Important: Do not overfill the crankcase with oil
because that could damage engine. Do not run engine
with oil below the Low mark because the engine may
be damaged.

motion-control levers to the N
