MAINTENANCE SAFETY

Some of the most important safety precautions follow. However, we
cannot warn you of every conceivable hazard that can arise in
performing maintenance. Only you can decide whether or not you
should perform a given task.
Failure to properly follow maintenance
instructions and precautions can cause you to
be seriously hurt or killed.
Always follow the procedures and precautions
in the owner s manual.
Safety Precautions
• Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or
repairs. This will eliminate several potential hazards
Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust.
-
Be sure there is adequate ventilation whenever you operate the
engine.
Bums from hot parts.
-
Let the engine and exhaust system cool before touching.
Injury from moving parts.
-
Do not run the engine unless instructed to do so.
• Read the instructions before you begin, and make sure you have the
tools and skills required.
• To reduce the possibility of fire or explosion, be careful when working
around gasoline. Use only a nonflammable solvent, not gasoline, to
clean parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames away from all fuel-
related parts.
