MAINTENANCE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains very important safety precautions. However, we cannot warn you
of every conceivable hazard that can arise while performing maintenance. You must
decide whether or not you should perform a given task and always be safety conscious.
WARNING
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

• Make sure the engine is not running, is turned OFF, spark plug cap is removed from
spark plug, and engine is cooled off before you begin any maintenance or repairs.
This can prevent several potential hazards, such as the following:
Carbon monoxide poisoning
from engine exhaust.
Run engine in a well-ventilated area.
Burns from hot parts.
Let the engine and exhaust system cool-off before
touching. (see drawing right)
Injury from moving parts.
Do not run the engine unless instructed to do so.
• Before you begin maintenance, read all instructions
and make sure you have the tools and skills required.
• To reduce the possibility of fi re or explosion, be alert when working around gasoline.
Use only a nonfl ammable solvent, not gasoline, to clean parts. Keep cigarettes,
sparks and fl ames away from all fuel-related parts.
• It is suggested to keep a fi re extinguisher close by when performing maintenance.
Your servicing dealer knows your engine best and is equipped to maintain and repair it.
