Moving parts can amputate fingers or cause severe injuries.
Keep hands, clothing and loose objects away from all openings.
Always stop the unit and make sure all moving parts have come to a complete stop before:
Removing obstructions
Clearing debris
Servicing the unit
Allow unit to cool before performing service.
Wear gloves to protect hands from sharp edges and hot surfaces.
Operating a poorly maintained unit can result in serious injuries to operator or bystanders.
Always follow all maintenance instructions as written, otherwise serious personal injury can result.
Your unit is designed to provide many hours of trouble-free service.
Regular scheduled maintenance will help your unit achieve that goal.
If you are unsure or not equipped with the necessary tools, we recommend that you take your unit to a Servicing Dealer for maintenance.

If the task is not listed, see your Dealer for repairs.
Level 1 = Easy to do. Common tools may be required.
Level 2 = Moderate difficulty. Some specialized tools may be required.
