A WARNING: Accidental Starts!
Before servicing the carburetor, engine, or equip-
ment, always remove the spark plug leads to prevent
the engine from starting accidentally. Ground the
leads to prevent sparks that could cause fires.
A WARNING: Explosive Fuell
Gasoline may be present in the carburetor and fuel
system. Gasoline is extremely flammable and its
vapors can explode if ignited. Keep sparks, open
flame, and other sources of ignition away from the
area to prevent the possibility of fires or explosions.
A WARNING: Prevent Eye Injury!
Suitable eye protection (safety glasses, goggles, or
face shield) should be worn for any procedure in-
volving the use of compressed air, punches, ham-
mers, chisels, drills, or grinding tools.
