Safety precautions
Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or repairs. This will
eliminate several potential hazards:
－
Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust.
Operate outside away from open windows or doors.
－
Burns from hot parts.
Let the engine and exhaust system cool before touching.
－
Injury from moving parts.
Do not run the engine unless instructed to do so.
Read the instructions before you begin, and make sure you have the tools and skills
required.
To reduce the possibility of fire or explosion, be careful when working around gasoline.
Use only a non-flammable solvent, not gasoline, to clean parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks,
and flames away from all fuel-related parts.
