• Always shut off fuel when storing or transporting machine.

Tire Safety

Explosive separation of a tire and rim parts can cause serious injury or
death:
• Do not attempt to mount a tire without the proper equipment and
experience to perform the job.
• Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflate the tires above
the recommended pressure. Never weld or heat a wheel and tire
assembly. The heat can cause an increase in air pressure resulting in a
tire explosion. Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.
• When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension hose long
enough to allow you to stand to one side and NOT in front of or over the
tire assembly.
• Check tires for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, damaged rims or missing
lug bolts and nuts.

Handling Fuel Safely

Fuel and fuel vapors are highly flammable:
• Do not refuel machine while you smoke, when machine is near an open
flame or sparks, or when engine is running. Stop engine and allow to cool
before filling.
• Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel with the engine running.
• Replace all fuel tanks and container caps securely.
• Never fill fuel tank or drain fuel from a machine in an enclosed area. Fill
fuel tank outdoors.
• Prevent fires. Clean up spilled fuel immediately. If fuel is spilled on
clothing, change clothing immediately. Do not attempt to start the engine
but move the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid creating
SAFETY
any source of ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated.
• Do not store fuel in container or machine with fuel in tank in a building
where fumes may reach an open flame or spark.
• Prevent fire and explosion caused by static electric discharge. Use only
non-metal, portable fuel containers approved by the Underwriter's
Laboratory (U.L.) or the American Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM).
If using a funnel, make sure it is plastic and has no screen or filter.
• Static electric discharge can ignite gasoline vapors in an ungrounded
fuel container. Remove the fuel container from the bed of a machine or
trailer or the trunk of a car and place on the ground away from the
machine before filling. Keep nozzle in contact with container opening while
filling. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
• When practical, remove equipment from trailers or truck beds and refuel
them on the ground. If this is not possible, use a portable, plastic fuel
container to refuel equipment on a truck bed or trailer.
• For gasoline engines, do not use gas with methanol. Methanol is
harmful to your health and to the environment.

Handling Waste Product and Chemicals

Waste products, such as, used oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid, and batteries,
can harm the environment and people:
• Do not use beverage containers for waste fluids - someone may drink
from them.
• See your local Recycling Center or authorized dealer to learn how to
recycle or get rid of waste products.
• A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides specific details on
chemical products: physical and health hazards, safety procedures, and
Safety - 7
