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.
Safety Precautions
Read the instructions before you begin, and make sure you have the tools and
skills required.
• Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or repairs. This
will eliminate several potential hazards:
– Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust
Operate outside away from open windows or doors with engine exhaust
directed away from occupied structures.
– 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.
• To reduce the possibility of fire or explosion, be careful when working around
gasoline. Use only a non-flammable solvent, not gasoline, to clean parts. Keep
cigarettes, sparks, and flames away from all fuel-related parts.
Improper maintenance can cause an
unsafe condition.
Failure to properly follow maintenance
instructions and precautions can cause
serious injuries or death.
Always follow the procedures and
precautions in this owner’s manual.
