Observe the following environmental
operating conditions to maintain engine
performance and avoid premature
engine wear:
• NEVER run the engine if the ambient
temperature is above +113°F (+45°C)
or below +5°F (-15°C).
• If the ambient temperature exceeds
+113°F (+45°C) the engine may
overheat and cause the engine oil to
break down.
• If the ambient temperature falls below
+5°F (-15°C) rubber components such

causing premature engine wear and
damage.
