BEFORE OPERATION
Check the Engine
l
Check the engine oil level (see page 25). Running the engine with a low oil
level can cause engine damage.
The Oil Alert system (applicable engine types) will automatically stop the
engine before the oil level falls below safe limits. However, to avoid the
inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, always check the engine oil
level before startup.
l
Check the air filter (see page 31). A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the
carburetor, reducing engine performance.
l
Check the fuel level. Starting with a full tank will help to eliminate or reduce
operating interruptions for refueling.
