15.Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels as necessary.

16.Use only genuine SNAPPER replacement parts to assure that original standards are maintained.

MAINTENANCE

1.DO NOT store machine or fuel container inside where fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light such as in a water heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other gas appliance. Allow engine to cool before storing machine in an enclosure. Store fuel container out of the reach of children in a well ventilated, unoccupied building.
