CHECK BEFORE OPERATION
IS YOUR ENGINE READY TO GO?
For your safety, and to maximize the service life of your equipment, it is very important to
take a few moments before you operate the engine to check its condition. Be sure to take
care of any problem you find, or have your servicing dealer correct it, before you operate
the engine.
Improperly maintaining this engine,
or failing to correct a problem
before operation, could cause a
malfunction in which you could be
seriously injured.
Always perform a preoperation
inspection before each operation,
and correct any problem.
Before beginning your preoperation checks, be sure the engine is level and the engine
switch is out off the key hole.
