please disconnect each of the four mounting
studs by pulling the engine cover upward, and
then lift off the complete cover. Tilting the
engine cover when one or more studs are still
engaged will lead to premature failure of the
couplers.
To reassemble the cover back onto the engine,
first make sure it is properly aligned, the oil cap
is centered, and that all four studs are lined up

For best possible performance, your air
conditioner should be checked and serviced by
an authorized dealer at the start of each warm
season. This service should include cleaning of
the condenser fins and a performance test.
Drive belt tension should also be checked at
this time.
WARNING!
Use only refrigerants and compressor lubri-
cants approved by the manufacturer for
your air conditioning system. Some unap-
proved refrigerants are flammable and can
explode, injuring you. Other unapproved
refrigerants or lubricants can cause the
system to fail, requiring costly repairs.
Refer to Warranty Information Book, for
further warranty information.
The air conditioning system contains refrig-
erant under high pressure. To avoid risk of
personal injury or damage to the system,
adding refrigerant or any repair requiring
lines to be disconnected should be done by
an experienced technician.
