WARNING
The ignition system produces extremely high volt-
age.
Do not touch the spark plug, ignition coil, or spark
plug lead while the engine is running, or you could
receive a severe electrical shock.
CAUTION
Do not disconnect the battery cables or any other
electrical connections when the ignition switch is
on, or while the engine is running. This is to prevent
igniter damage.
Do not install the battery backwards. The negative
side is grounded. This is to prevent damage to the
diodes and igniter.
Use the standard regulator/rectifier, or the igniter
will be damaged.
