WARNING
DO NOT attempt any adjustments, maintenance or
service with the engine or blade running. STOP
blade. STOP engine. Set brake. Remove key. Remove
spark plug wire from spark plug and secure wire
away from spark plug. Engine and components can
be extremely hot. Avoid burns by allowing engine
and components sufficient time to cool. Never
attempt to service or charge the battery while it is
installed on the YARD CRUISER. Shield the positive
terminal with terminal cover located on battery harness.
This prevents metal from touching the positive
terminal, which could cause sparks. Cables must be
connected to battery terminals in the proper position as
shown in Figure 4.15.
