Answer to Question 1

One set each of socket, open-end, and box wrenches ranging in size from 1/4 inch to 1 inch should be
sufficient for small engine work.

Answer to Question 2

Store gasoline and other fuels in approved containers; wipe up all oil and fuel spills immediately; place
rags that have fuel or oil on them in an approved fireproof container; keep paper and other flammable
materials away from the work area; read and observe all safety precautions found in the operator's
manual and repair manual; work only in well-ventilated areas; keep an approved fire extinguisher in
the work area; do not use an open flame or electrical equipment in the work area; wear protective
goggles at all times; and use the proper tool for the proper job.
