Caution

If you leave the key in the ignition switch, someone could accidently start the engine and

seriously injure you or other bystanders.

Remove the key from the ignition and disconnect the wire from the spark plug before you do

any maintenance. Set the wire aside so that it does not accidentally contact the spark plug.
