General Troubleshooting
CAUTION!
Always switch off the engine and pull the ignition cable before starting any inspection
or adjustment work.
CAUTION!
If, after making an adjustment or repair to the engine, you let it run for a few minutes,
remember that the exhaust and other parts will get hot. Thus, do not touch parts that emanate
heat, as these may burn you.
The following table provides solutions to common problems encountered with the blower.
