WARNING
Performing maintenance work can

cause serious injury. Perform
maintenance work only if you
have the required know-how and
the proper tools and equipment.
If in doubt, see your dealer to
have a qualified technician do
the work. See Doing Your Own
Service Work on page 10‑4.
At your dealer, you can be certain

level of service available. Your
dealer has specially trained

replacement parts, as well as,
up‐to‐date tools and equipment to
ensure fast and accurate
