ground against engine before cleaning,
lubricating or doing any kind of maintenance on
your machine.
Maintenance and Storage
1. Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper
operation regularly.
2. Check bolts and screws for proper tightness at
frequent intervals to keep the machine in safe working
condition. Also, visually inspect machine for any
damage and repair, if needed.
3. Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, stop the
engine and make certain the impeller and all moving
parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire
