Trouble Recovery

● An unguarded, rotating flywheel is very
dangerous. Keep loose clothing and
other objects away when starting the en-
gine. Use the emergency starter rope
only as instructed. Do not touch the fly-
wheel or other moving parts when the
engine is running. Do not install the
starter mechanism or top cowling after
the engine is running.
● Do not touch the ignition coil, spark plug
wire, spark plug cap, or other electrical
components when starting or operating
the motor. You could get an electrical
shock.
