Make sure the cooling shrouds are reinstalled. 10 NOTE: Operating the engine with a blocked grass screen, dirty or plugged cooling fins, and/or cooling shrouds removed, will cause engine damage due to overheating. Battery Charging WARNING: Explosive Gas!Ba eries produce explosive hydrogen gas while being charged. To prevent a fire or explosion, charge ba eries only in well ventilated areas. Keep sparks, open flames, and other sources of ignition away from the ba ery at all times. Keep ba eries out of the reach of children. Remove all jewelry when servicing ba eries. Before disconnecting the negative (-) ground cable, make sure all switches are OFF. If ON, a spark will occur at the ground cable terminal which could cause an explosion if hydrogen gas or gasoline vapors are present. Ignition System These engines use an electronic Capacitive Discharge (CD) ignition system. Other than periodically checking/replacing the spark plugs, no maintenance, timing, or adjustments are necessary or possible with this system. Check Spark Plugs Every 100 hours of operation, remove the spark plugs, check condition, and reset the gap or replace with new plugs as necessary. [. . . ] service center as soon as a problem exists.
