Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.
WARNING
While maintenance or adjustments are being made, someone could start the engine. Accidental starting of the engine could seriously injure you or other bystanders.
Remove the key from the ignition switch, engage parking brake, and pull the wire(s) off the spark plug(s) before you do any maintenance. Also push the wire(s) aside so it does not accidentally contact the spark plug(s).
WARNING
The engine can become very hot. Touching a hot engine can cause severe burns.
Allow the engine to cool completely before service or making repairs around the engine area.
