Some of the most important safety precautions follow. However, we
cannot warn you of every conceivable
hazard that can arise in
performing maintenance.
Only you can decide whether or not you
should perform a given task.
Failure to properly follow maintenance

and precautions can
cause you to be seriously hurt or
killed.
Always follow the procedures and
precautions
in the owner's manual.
Safety Precautions
l
Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance
or
repairs. This will eliminate several potential hazards:
- Carbon monoxide
poisoning
from engine exhaust.
Be sure there is adequate ventilation whenever you operate the
engine.
- Burns from hot parts.
Let the engine and exhaust system cool before touching.
- Injury from moving
parts.
Do not run the engine unless instructed to do so.
