WARNING
• Maintain the protective covers over the rotating parts.
If rotating parts such as the drive shaft, pulley, belt, etc., are left exposed, they
are potentially hazardous. To prevent injury, equip them with protective covers or
shrouds.

Operating the engine at a steep incline may cause engine seizure due to improper
lubrication even with a maximum oil level.
