4. CHECKS BEFORE STARTING

IS THE ENGINE READY TO START?
To ensure your safety and to maximize the service life of the engine its
condition must be checked before each start. Correct any possible
problems or have them remedied by your customer service before
starting the engine.
Improper maintenance or troubleshooting prior to starting may trigger
malfunctions and cause serious injuries.
Regular inspections before starting help prevent problems.
