WARNING! To avoid personal injury or death: Be careful not to let the battery electrolyte contact your body or clothing. Wear eye protection and rubber gloves, since the diluted sulfuric acid solution burns skin and eats holes in clothing.

DANGER! Do not use or charge the battery if its fluid level stands below the LOWER (lower limit level) mark. Otherwise, the battery component parts may deteriorate earlier than expected, which may shorten the battery's service life or cause an explosion.

WARNING! To avoid personal injury or death: When the battery is being activated, hydrogen and oxygen gases in the battery are extremely explosive. Keep open sparks and flames away from the battery at all times, especially when charging the battery.

Is the electrolyte level to the bottom of vent wells?

Is the battery fluid level between the UPPER and LOWER levels?

Is the battery being charged in a well-ventilated place?

Is the charger positive terminal connected to the battery positive terminal, and negative to the negative?

Is the battery being recharged as early as possible?

Is the battery of equal specification shown in 'SPECIFICATIONS' section when exchanging an old battery into new one?

WARNING! To avoid personal injury or death: Be sure to stop the engine and remove the key before checking the belt tension. Be sure to reinstall the detached safety shield after maintenance or checking.

Applied moderate thumb pressure to belt between the pulleys

Belt tension in the proper range

IMPORTANT: If belt is loosen or damaged and the fan is damaged, it could result in overheats or insufficient charging. Correct or replace belt.

Measure tension with a sonic tension meter

Measurement done properly according to the operation manual of the device being used

Measurement done immediately after installing the belt without rotating the pulleys

WARNING! To avoid personal injury or death: Be sure to stop the engine before checking and changing the engine oil and the oil filter cartridge.

Do not touch muffler or exhaust pipes while they are hot; Severe burns could result.

Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before conducting inspections, maintenance, or for a cleaning procedure.

Contact with engine oil can damage your skin. Put on gloves when using engine oil. If you come in contact with engine oil, wash it off immediately.

NOTE! Be sure to inspect the engine, locating it on a horizontal place. If placed on gradients accurately, oil quantity may not be measured.

Be sure to keep the oil level between upper and lower limits of the oil gauge. Too much oil may cause a drop in output or excessive blow-by gas.

On the closed breather type engine in which mist is sucked through port, too much oil may cause oil hammer.

While too little oil, may seize the engine's rotating and sliding parts. (The closed breather is an option.)

Check the engine oil level before starting or more than 5 minutes after stopping the engine.

Initial Oil Change after 50hours. WARNING! To avoid personal injury or death: Be sure to stop the engine before draining engine oil and changing the oil filter cartridge.

When draining engine oil, place some container underneath the engine and dispose it according to local regulations.

Do not drain oil after running the engine. Allow engine to cool down sufficiently. Oil can be hot and cause burns

2. Remove the drain plug at the bottom of the engine, and drain all the old oil. Drain oil easier and completely while the engine is hot.

3. When letting out the oil, remove the filler plug too. With the filler plug still in place, it would be difficult to discharge the oil completely.

4. Add new engine oil up to the upper limit of the oil level gauge. Be careful not to add oil above the upper limit of the oil level gauge.

Replacing the oil filter cartridge

1. Replace the oil filter cartridge.
