Important notes

Improper maintenance and repair work on the engine may result in engine damage or premature
wear.
To avoid damage to the engine, components and cable harnesses and thus prevent personal injury
that might occur as a result, observe the following safety measures and instructions.
Only start the engine if the batteries are firmly connected.
Do not disconnect the batteries while the engine is running.
Do not use a quick-charger for starting the engine.
Do not use additional engine starting aids (e.g. starting fluid).
Starting should only be assisted using separate batteries.
For quick-charging the batteries, detach the battery terminals. Observe the quick-charger's user
instructions.
