WARNING

Shift transmission to neutral before starting engine to prevent accidental movement, which could result in death or serious injury. (00044a)

NOTICE

The engine should be allowed to run slowly for 30-60 seconds. This will allow the engine to warm up and let oil reach all surfaces needing lubrication. Failure to comply can result in engine damage. (00181b)
