for ingress of liquids, you should keep electrical connections away from sources of dampness,
including direct exposure to water or bodily fluids and incontinence. Check electrical components
frequently for signs of corrosion and replace as necessary.

DAILY CHECKS

With the power turned off, check the throttle. Make sure it is not bent or damaged and that it returns to the
neutral position when you release it. Do not try to repair it. See your authorized provider if there is a problem.
◼
Visually inspect the tiller cable. Make sure that it is not frayed, cut, or has any wires exposed. See your

by pulling the throttle in the opposite direction.
