Maintenance

WARNING
Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock.
Unintentional start-up can result in entanglement, traumatic
amputation, or laceration.
Before performing adjustments or repairs:
• Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep it away from the
spark plug.
• Disconnect battery at negative terminal (only engines with
electric start).
• Use only correct tools.
• Do not tamper with governor spring, links, or other parts
to increase engine speed.
• Replacement parts must be of the same design and
installed in the same position as the original parts. Other
parts may not perform as well, may damage the unit, and
may result in injury.
• Do not strike the flywheel with a hammer or hard object
because the flywheel may shatter during operation.
