High Temperatures – Always stop engine and allow the

engine to cool before adding fuel, oil or performing service
and maintenance functions. Contact with

hot

NEVER disconnect any "emergency or safety devices".

These devices are intended for operator safety. Disconnection
of these devices can cause severe injury, bodily harm or even
death! Disconnection of any of these devices will void all
warranties.

machine.

ALWAYS allow the machine a proper amount of time to cool

before servicing.

DO NOT pour waste, oil or fuel directly onto the ground,

down a drain or into any water source.
