Warning! The ignition system produces extremely high voltage. Do not touch the spark plugs or stick coils while the engine is running, or you could receive a severe electrical shock.
Caution!
- Do not disconnect the battery leads or any other electrical connections when the ignition switch is on, or while the engine is running. This is to prevent IC igniter damage.
- Do not install the battery backwards. The negative side is grounded. This is to prevent damage to the diodes and IC igniter.
