WARNING
Before working on engine or equipment, disable engine as
follows: 1) Disconnect spark plug lead(s). 2) Disconnect
negative (–) battery cable from battery.
Accidental Starts can cause severe injury or
death.
Disconnect and ground spark plug lead(s)
before servicing.
Clean all parts thoroughly as engine is disassembled. Only clean parts can be accurately inspected and gauged for
wear or damage. There are many commercially available cleaners that will quickly remove grease, oil, and grime from
engine parts. When such a cleaner is used, follow manufacturer’s instructions and safety precautions carefully.
Make sure all traces of cleaner are removed before engine is reassembled and placed into operation. Even small
amounts of these cleaners can quickly break down lubricating properties of engine oil.
