5. GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE.
Always turn off the engine while refuel-
ing. Take care to not spill any gasoline
on the engine or exhaust system.
Never refuel in the vicinity of an open
flame, or while smoking.
6. GASOLINE CAN CAUSE INJURY.
If you should swallow some gasoline,
inhale excess gasoline vapors, or allow
any gasoline to get into your eyes, con-
tact a doctor immediately. If any gaso-
line spills onto your skin or clothing,
immediately wash skin areas with soap
and water, and change your clothes.
7. ONLY OPERATE THE MACHINE IN AN
AREA WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
Never start the engine or let it run for
any length of time in an enclosed area.
Exhaust fumes are poisonous. These
fumes contain carbon monoxide, which
by itself is odorless and colorless.
Carbon monoxide is a dangerous gas
which can cause unconsciousness or
can be lethal.
8. PARK THE MACHINE CAREFULLY;
TURN OFF THE ENGINE.
Always turn off the engine if you are
going to leave the machine. Do not
park the machine on a slope or soft
ground as it may fall over.
9. PROPERLY SECURE THE MACHINE
BEFORE TRANSPORTING IT.
When transporting the machine in an-
other vehicle, always be sure it is prop-
erly secured and in an upright position
and that the fuel cock is in the “OFF”
position. Otherwise, fuel may leak out
of the carburetor or fuel tank.

GENERAL TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS/
DEFINITION OF UNITS
This chart specifies torque for standard faste-
ners with standard I.S.O. pitch threads. Torque
specifications for special components or assem-
blies are included in the applicable sections of
this book. To avoid warpage, tighten multi-faste-
ner assemblies in a crisscross fashion, in pro-
gressive stages, until full torque is reached.
Unless otherwise specified, torque specifications
call for clean, dry threads. Components should
be at room temperature.
