disconnect the negative (-) cable first;
- to reconnect the battery cables, always connect
the negative (-) cable last;
- never short-circuit the battery clamps with metal
objects;

The engine exhaust may produce sparks.
Before using the machine in an area which may

good ventilation.
Always keep a fire extinguisher available on the
machine.
Make sure that it is properly maintained in conform-
ity with the manufacturer’s instructions.
