MAINTENANCE SAFETY
Safety Precautions
Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust.
Burns from hot parts.
Injury from moving parts.
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.
Some of the most important safety precautions follow. However, we
cannot warn you of every conceivable hazard that can arise in
performing maintenance. Only you can decide whether or not you
should perform a given task.
Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or
repairs. This will eliminate several potential hazards:
Be sure there is adequate ventilation whenever you operate the
engine.
Let the engine and exhaust system cool before touching.
Do not run the engine unless instructed to do so.
Read the instructions before you begin, and make sure you have the
tools and skills required.
To reduce the possibility of fire or explosion, be careful when
working around gasoline. Use only a nonflammable solvent, not
gasoline, to clean parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames away
from all fuel-related parts.
