Maintenance Schedule
Always stop engine, disconnect spark plug, and ground
against engine before cleaning, lubricating or doing any
kind of maintenance on your machine.
Maintenance and Storage
1. Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation
regularly.
2. Check bolts and screws for proper tightness at frequent intervals
to keep the machine in safe working condition. Also, visually
inspect machine for any damage and repair, if needed.
3. Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, stop the engine and
make certain the impeller and all moving parts have stopped.
Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground it against the engine to
