Inspection
After
Delivery
Inspect your machine immediately
after it has been delivered. Make
sure that neither the carton nor the
contents have been damaged.
If
you find or suspect any damage,
contact the carrier (trucking com-
pany) right away. Inform them
of
the specific damage and that you
wish to file a claim.
To
protect
your rights, be sure
to
put this
in
writing
to
the carrier within
15
days after your machine arrives.
The carrier will let you know how
to proceed with your claim.
Please let us know
if
you need any
assistance with this matter.
IMPORTANT:
Motor
oil
must
be
added
to the engine before it
is
started.
The
procedure for
adding oil is explained
later
on
in these assembly instructions.
