either operation can lead to an explosion.
The engine cover is a machinery guard. To
prevent injury from moving engine compo-
nents, keep hands, clothes, and hair clear of
powerhead.
DO NOT turn flywheel by hand. Use starter
cord only.
Place key switch in OFF position with the motor in
normal  operating  position.  Refer  to  Power  Trim
and Tilt.
