Service
• Always stop the engine whenever you leave the
equipment, before cleaning, repairing or inspecting
the unit. Engine should be turned off and cool, spark
plug wire must be removed from spark plug before
any repairs or adjustments are attempted. Never
make adjustments or repairs with the engine (motor)
running. Disconnect the spark plug wire, and keep
the wire away from the plug to prevent accidental
starting. Remove the ignition key if equipped with an
electric start.
• Always wear eye protection when you make adjust-
ments or repairs.
• Keep all nuts and bolts tight and keep equipment in
good condition.
• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper
operation regularly.
• When servicing or repairing the machine, do not tip the
machine over or up unless specifically instructed to do
so in this manual. Service and repair procedures can be
done with the machine in an upright position. Some
procedures will be easier if the machine is lifted on a
raised platform or working surface.
• To reduce fire hazard, keep machine free of grass,
leaves, or other debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel
spillage. Allow machine to cool before storing.
• Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an ob-
ject. Repair, if necessary, before restarting.
• Do not change the engine governor setting or over-
speed the engine.
• Clean and replace safety and instruction decals as
necessary.
• To guard against engine over-heating, always have
engine debris filter mounted and clean.
• Inspect machine before storage. When not in use,
disconnect spark plug lead and store indoors in a dry
place locked or otherwise inaccessible to children.

including all nuts and bolts.
