BATTERY CONNECTIONS
(Engines
with
Automotive Type Separate Starter)
Verify
battery
polarity
before connecting battery
cables. Connect negative cable last.
Connect the
12
volt battery positive cable to the
engine start switch terminal. Connect
the
battery
negative cable to the ground point on the engine oil
base (Figure

stops.
Drain oil from
oil
base while the engine is still
warm. Refill with fresh crankcase oil and attach a
tag stating viscosity used.
Remove spark plugs. Pour

RETURNING UNIT TO
SERVICE
Remove cover and all protective wrapping. Re-
move plug from exhaust outlet.
Check tag on oil base and verify that oil viscosity
is still correct for existing ambient temperatures.
Clean and check battery. Measure specific grav-
ity
(1.260
at
77'
F
[25O
C])
and verify level to be at
split ring. If specific gravity is low, charge until
correct value is obtained. If the IeveLis low, add
distilled water and charge until specific gravity is
correct.
Check that fuel filter and fuel lines are secure,
with no leaks.
Check carburetor; adjust if necessary.
Connect battery.
Start engine in
a
well ventilated area. Exhaust
smoke when engine is started is normal and is
usually caused by the rust inhibitor oil.
EXHAUST
GAS
IS
DEADLY!
Exhaust gases confain carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that can cause
unconsciousness and death. It
is
an odorless and colorless gas formed during
combusfion of hydrocarbon fuels. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning
are:
Dizziness Vomiting
Headache Muscular Twifching
Weakness and Sleepiness Throbbing in Temples
If you experience any of these sympfoms, get out into fresh air immediately,
shut down the unif and do not use until
if
has been inspected.
The best protection against carbon monoxide inhalafion
is
proper installation
and regular, frequent inspections of the complefe exhaust system. If you nofice
a change
in
the sound or appearance of exhaust system, shut the unif down
immediately and have
if
inspected and repaired at once by a competent
mechanic.
