spark and flames. Unplug charger before
connecting or disconnecting from battery. Wear
protective clothing and insulated gloves.
8. Park machine on level ground. DO NOT work
under machine without safety blocks.

wire(s) away from spark plug(s).
10. DO NOT change engine governor speed settings
or overspeed engine. DO NOT make adjustments
with the engine running.
