out the silencer; check, clean
and replace, if required, the
silencer at regular intervals.

est, bushes or grassy areas

at the exhaust
 Except for setting jobs, do not
run the engine when the air
filter is removed or there is no
cover over the suction sup-
port.

to the regulator springs, regu-
lator bars or other parts that
can bring forth an increase in
the engine speed.

hot silencers, cylinders or ra-
diator ribs.
