If you leave the key in the ignition switch,
someone could accidently start the engine
and seriously injure you or other bystanders.
Remove the key from the ignition and
disconnect the wire from the spark plug
before you do any maintenance. Set the wire
aside so that it does not accidentally contact
the spark plug.

operating. Severe burns can occur from
contacting hot surfaces.
Allow engines, especially the muffler, to cool
