NOTICE
Stopping the engine immediately after it has been

equipped), which could cause oil coking problems.
1. With the machine stopped, run the engine at LOW
IDLE for five minutes.
2. Turn the engine start switch to OFF.

Maintain a three-point contact (two feet and one
hand or one foot and two hands) with the steps
and handholds.
2. Inspect the engine compartment for debris. Clean
out any debris and paper to avoid a fire.
