There may be several specific safety messages on your engine. The exact location and a description of the safety messages are reviewed in this section. Please become familiar with all safety messages.
Ensure that all of the safety messages are legible. Clean the safety messages or replace the safety messages if the words cannot be read or if the illustrations are not visible.
