Engine Removal

ENGINE REMOVAL [KL]
Procedure

Warning:
^ Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injuries or death and damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete the "Fuel Line Safety Procedures".
^ Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can very easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Always keep sparks and flames away from fuel.

Caution: Cover the fuel hoses with a rag because fuel will spray out when disconnected.

Note: Plug the disconnected fuel hoses to prevent fuel leakage.
