practices (e.g., Hot parts-wear gloves). If you have not received shop safety training or do not feel confident about your knowledge

Some of the most important general service safety precautions are given below. However, we cannot warn you of every

perform a given task.

Important Safety Precautions

Make sure you have a clear understanding of all basic shop safety practices and that you are wearing appropriate clothing and

using safety equipment. When performing any service task, be especially careful of the following:
• Read all of the instructions before you begin, and make sure you have the tools, the replacement or repair parts, and the skills

required to perform the tasks safely and completely.

• Protect your eyes by using proper safety glasses, goggles, or face shields anytime you hammer, drill, grind, or work around

pressurized air, pressurized liquids, springs or other stored-energy components. If there is any doubt, put on eye protection.

• Use other protective wear when necessary, for example gloves or safety shoes. Handling hot or sharp parts can cause severe

burns or cuts. Before you grab something that looks like it can hurt you, stop and put on gloves.

• Protect yourself and others whenever you have engine-power equipment up in the air. Anytime you lift this product with a hoist,

make sure that the hoist hook is securely attached to the product.

Make sure the engine is off before you begin any servicing procedures, unless the instruction tells you to do otherwise. This will

help eliminate several potential hazards:
• Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust. Be sure there is adequate ventilation whenever you run the engine.

• Burns from hot parts. Let the engine and exhaust system cool before working in those areas.

• Injury from moving parts. If the instruction tells you to run the engine, be sure your hands, fingers and clothing are out of the way.
Gasoline vapors and hydrogen gasses from battery are explosive. To reduce the possibility of a fire or explosion, be careful when

working around gasoline or batteries.
• Use only a nonflammable solvent, not gasoline, to clean parts.

• Never store gasoline in an open container.

• Keep all cigarettes, sparks, and flames away from the battery and all fuel-related parts.
