CAUTION: Avoid injury! Engine exhaust fumes
contain carbon monoxide and can cause
serious illness or death.
Move the vehicle to an outside area before
running the engine.
Do not run an engine in an enclosed area
without adequate ventilation.
• Connect a pipe extension to the engine
exhaust pipe to direct the exhaust fumes out of
the area.
• Allow fresh outside air into the work area to
clear the exhaust fumes out.
IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Failure to check the oil
level regularly could lead to serious engine
problems if oil level is low:
• Check oil level before operating.
• Check oil level when the engine is cold and not
running.
• Keep level between the FULL and the ADD marks.
• Shut off engine before adding oil.
