MAINTENANCE SAFETY
Some of the most important safety precautions follow. However, we
cannot warn you of every conceivable hazard that can arise in
performing maintenance. Only you can decide whether or not you
should perform a given task.
Failure to properly follow maintenance
instructions and precautions can cause
you to be seriously hurt or killed.
Always follow the procedures and
Precautions in the owner’s manual.
Safety Precautions
l Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or
repairs. This will eliminate several potential hazards:
- Carbon monoxide polsoning from engine exhaust. Be sure
there is adequate ventilation whenever you operate the engine.
- Burns from hot parts. Let the engine and exhaust system cool
before touching.
- Injury from moving parts. Do not run the engine unless
instructed to do so.
