tipped, the fuel tank must be empty or fuel can leak out and result in a fire or
explosion.

Emissions Control

Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emissions control devices and systems
may be performed by any non-road engine repair establishment or individual.
However, to obtain "no charge" emissions control service, the work must be performed
by a factory authorized dealer. See the Emissions Warranty.
