CAUTION!
If the starter is on for too long time, the battery
may go flat. Always keep the key in the “ON” position while
the engine is running.
IMPORTANT!
The control light should be on when the key
is in the ON position.
Warm up the engine without load for about 3 minutes.
CAUTION!
Do not loosen or readjust the throttle shut-off
weldment bolt (idling adjustment lever). Damage to the
engine may result.
WARNING!
The exhaust silencer is very hot during
engine operation. Be careful not to touch the silencer.
WARNING!
Never perform refueling while the engine is
running.
Battery
Check the level of the fluid in the battery once a month. When the level has dropped to
the lower mark, replenish with distilled water up to the upper mark.
CAUTION!
If the battery fluid is short, the engine may not
start because too little electricity is reaching the starter
motor. Always keep the fluid level within the upper and
lower limits.
CAUTION!
If too much battery fluid is supplied, the fluid
may spill and corrode the surrounding parts.
CAUTION!
The light located on the key switch mount
bracket is lit always when the key is turned to the “ON”
position.
