IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

wearing appropriate clothing and safety equipment. When performing the set-up or pre-delivery
service, be especially careful of the following:
• Read the instructions before you begin, a nd make sure you have the tools and skills required to
perform the tasks safely.
• To prevent the machine from falling on you, park it on a firm, level surface, using the proper
stand(s) to provide firm support.
Make sure the engine is off before you begin any servicing procedures. This will help eliminate
several potential hazards:
• Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust—be sur e th ere is adequ ate ventilati o n
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.
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 an d fl am es away fro m the battery and all fuel- re l ated parts.
