7. MAINTENANCE
ATTENTION
- Carefully read the instructions and safety precautions in this manual before carrying out even the
simplest maintenance operations.
- Never carry out maintenance, repair or lubricating operations with the engine running unless
specifically instructed to do so.
- When performing any maintenance, repair or lubricating operations which require the engine to be
running, always make sure you are helped by an experienced operator who is able to keep the engine
under control and take emergency action should the need arise.
- Never leave the engine running in enclosed spaces. Exhaust fumes are highly toxic.
- If any large assemblies need to be removed, make sure that they are adequately supported.
