INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

Precautions for Inspections and Adjustments

WARNING
• Select a place with flat and firm ground for performing maintenance. Otherwise,
unpredictable injuries may occur.
• Make sure to stop the engine and pull out the starter key.
• When performing works with the electrical system, make sure to disconnect
the negative (-) battery terminal.
• Do not perform work near an open flame or other heat sources.
• Each part on the engine is hot immediately after engine operation. Be careful
not to get burned. Perform inspection when the engine has cooled down.
• Replacement of each oil and oil filter should be performed when each oil has
cooled down sufficiently. Performing work when they are still hot can cause a
burn injury.
• When performing a maintenance work on the fuel line or fuel filter, relieve the
pressure to work as is under high pressure.
• Do not leave the engine running in a poorly ventilated indoor place. This could
cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
ADVICE
• Use only appropriate tools.
• Do not leave the removed parts or tools on the engine. They may damage the
equipment if they are caught in the belts or other moving components.
• When replacing, take sufficient care so that debris or foreign matter does not
attach to the removed component.
• Dirty water, dirt and other impurities seriously impair the effectiveness of the
oil, and damage the parts, so take sufficient care not to let debris or foreign
matter mix into the oil while adding or replacing.
• Confirm that all systems and components are normal after performing the
work.
California Proposition 65 Warning
Most engines, including this one, contain and/or emit chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Engine
exhaust, many parts and systems (including some inside the engine), many fluids
and some component wear by-products contain and/or emit these chemicals.
