Maintenance
Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.
Important: The machine may be tipped backward or on its side to facilitate access for cleaning or service, but no
longer than 2 minutes. If the machine is held in this position for too long, the engine can be damaged by gasoline
draining into the crankcase. Should this happen, perform an extra oil change on the engine. Then turn the engine
over a few revolutions with the starter handle before starting the engine again.
