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 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.
Operate outside away from open windows or doors.

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.
