THE IMPORTANCE OF INSTALLATION

Proper installation is essential to operator safety and the reliability of the machine. Any error or oversight made by the technician assembling and servicing a unit can easily result in faulty operation, damage to the machine, or injury to the operator.

Improper service can cause an unsafe condition

that can lead to serious injury or death.

Follow the procedures and precautions in installation instructions and shop manuals

carefully.

Some of the most important safety precautions are given below. However, we cannot warn you of every

conceivable hazard that can arise in performing this installation. Only you can decide whether or not you

should perform a given task.

Failure to properly follow installation instructions and precautions can cause you to be seriously hurt or killed.

Follow the procedures and precautions in

installation instructions carefully.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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 installation, be especially careful of the following:

Read the instructions before you begin, and make 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 the battery and all fuel-related parts.
