MAINTENANCE
Moving parts can amputate fingers or cause severe injuries.
Keep hands, clothing and loose objects away from all openings.
Always stop engine, disconnect spark plug, and make sure all
moving parts have come to a complete stop before removing
obstructions, clearing debris, or servicing unit. Allow unit to
cool before performing service. Wear gloves to protect hands
from sharp edges and hot surfaces.
Operating a poorly maintained unit can result in serious injuries
to operator or bystanders. Always follow all maintenance
instructions as written, otherwise serious personal injury can
result.
Your unit is designed to provide many hours of trouble free service. Regular
scheduled maintenance will help your unit achieve that goal. If you are
unsure or are not equipped with the necessary tools, we recommend that
you take your unit to a Servicing Dealer for maintenance. To help you
decide whether you want to DO-IT-YOURSELF or have the Dealer do it,
each maintenance task has been graded. If the task is not listed, see your
Dealer for repairs.
The use of emission control components other than those specifically
designed for this unit is a violation of federal law.
Skill Levels
Level 1 = Easy to do. Common tools may be required.
Level 2 = Moderate difficulty. Some specialized tools may be required.
Level 3 = See your dealer.
