WARNING Failure to read and follow the operator's manual and all operating
instructions can result in death, bodily injury, and/or property damage.
WARNING Fuel and its vapors are extremely fl ammable and explosive. Turn engine
off and let engine cool at least 2 minutes before removing the fuel cap. If
fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine. Allow space for
fuel expansion.

an inspection, adjustment, or repair, disconnect the spark plug wire
