Important Safety Precautions

Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust.

Burns from hot parts.

Injury from moving parts.

Make sure you have a clear understanding of all basic shop safety
practices and that you are wearing appropriate clothing and safety
equipment. When performing this assembly, be especially careful of
the following:

Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or
repairs. This will help eliminate several potential hazards:

Read the instructions before you begin, and be sure you have
the tools and skills required to perform the tasks safely.

Operate outside away from open windows or doors.

Let the engine and exhaust system cool before touching.

Do not run the engine unless the instruction tells you to do so.
Even then, keep your hands, fingers, and clothing away. Do not
run the engine when any protective guard or shield is removed.

To reduce the possibility of a fire or explosion, be careful when
working around gasoline or batteries. Use only a non-flammable
solvent, not gasoline, to clean parts. Keep all cigarettes, sparks, and
flames away from all fuel-related parts.
