SERVICE
When replacement parts are required, use
genuine RYAN parts or parts with equivalent
characteristics, including type, strength and
material. Failure to do so may result in product
malfunction and possible injury to the operator
and/or bystanders.
Carbon monoxide present in the exhaust is an
odorless and deadly gas. Never start or run the
engine inside where exhaust fumes can collect.
Provide enough fresh air to keep fumes from
getting too strong.
When replacing engine, be sure to replace
sound level warning decal (Part No. 524538).
Any warning decal that becomes illegible should
be replaced immediately.
