surfaces.

parts and accessories for this unit. These are available from your

authorized service dealer. Use of any other parts or accessories

could lead to serious injury to the user, or damage to the unit,

and void the warranty.

debris that could block moving parts.

Keep the engine and muffler free from grass, leaves, excessive

grease or carbon build up.

• If the unit starts to vibrate abnormally, stop the unit immediately.

Inspect the unit for the cause of the vibration. Vibration is

generally an indicator of trouble.

catch in the ground and propel the unit forward. If this occurs,

release the handlebar(s) and do not restrain the unit.
