servicing of the electrical system.
Avoid electrical shock:

Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, hands, and
clothing away from the flywheel and other moving parts.
After repairs are complete, make sure all ignition and electrical

Replace locking fasteners when their locking feature becomes
weak.
Use only factory replacement parts.
Always inspect and test the start-in-gear prevention system before
returning engine to customer.
