Normal maintenance, replacement or repair of
emission control devices and systems may be
performed by any qualified repair establishment or
individual with original or equivalent parts. Warranty
and recall repairs must be performed by a
authorized service center; please contact customer
service for assistance.
WARNING.
Before inspecting, cleaning,
or servicing the machine, shut off
engine, wait for all moving parts to stop,
and disconnect spark plug wire and
move it away from spark plug. Failure to
follow these instructions can result in
serious personal injury or property
damage.
WARNING.
Always wear eye protection
with side shields marked to comply with
ANSI Z87.1, along with hearing
protection. Failure to do so could result
in objects being thrown into your eyes
and other possible serious injuries.
WARNING.
When servicing, use only
recommended or equivalent
replacement parts. Use of any other
parts could create a hazard or cause
product damage.
NOTE:
Periodically inspect the entire product for
damaged, missing, or loose parts such as screws,
nuts, bolts, caps, etc. Tighten securely all fasteners
and caps and do not operate this product until all
missing or damaged parts are replaced. Please

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts.
Most plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents and may be
damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove
dirt, dust, lubricant, grease, etc.
WARNING.
Do not at any time let brake
fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based
products, penetrating lubricants, etc.,
come in contact with plastic parts.
Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which could result in
