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:
¨
Read the instructions before you begin and be sure you have the tools and skills required to
perform the tasks safely.
•
Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or repairs. This will help eliminate
several potential hazards:

Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust.
Be sure there is adequate ventilation whenever you run the engine.
¨
Burns from hot parts.
Let the engine and exhaust system cool before touching.
¨
Injury from moving parts.
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 nonflammable solvent, not gasoline, to clean parts. Keep all cigarettes, sparks, and flames
away from all fuel-related parts.
