The operator is responsible for proper and safe use of the

tions before using this equipment. We also strongly recom-
mend instructing other users to properly start and operate
the unit. This prepares them if they need to operate the
equipment in an emergency.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
It is the owner’s/operator's responsibility to perform all safe-
ty checks, to make sure that all maintenance for safe oper-
ation is performed promptly, and to have the equipment
checked by an authorized dealer periodically. Normal main-
tenance service and replacement of parts are the responsi-
bility of the owner/operator and, as such, are not considered
defects in materials or workmanship within the terms of the
warranty. Individual operating habits and usage contribute to
the need for maintenance service.
Proper maintenance and care of your engine ensures a
minimum number of problems and keeps operating expens-
es at a minimum. See your authorized dealer/distributor for
service aids and accessories.
