PERFORMING MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Always ensure that the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or repairs.
WARNING! Use only a nonflammable solvent, not gasoline, to clean engine parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks and
flames away from all fuel related parts.
Before performing adjustments or repairs:
1. Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep it away from the spark plug.
2. Replacement parts must be the same and installed in the same position as the original parts.
3. Do not tamper with the governor spring, links or other parts to increase engine speed.
4. Do not strike the flywheel with a hammer or hard object. The flywheel may later shatter during operation.
CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT
Never make adjustments to the carburetor. The carburetor was set at the factory to operate efficiently under most
conditions. Only a qualified service technician should adjust the carburetor if it is required.
