Moving parts can amputate fingers or cause severe injuries.
Keep hands, clothing and loose objects away from all openings.
Always stop unit and make sure all moving parts have come to a complete stop before removing obstructions, clearing debris, or servicing unit.

If the task is not listed, see your Dealer for repairs.
Level 1 = Easy to do. Common tools may be required.
