Filling the Fuel Tank
The fuel tank capacity is approximately 7 gallons (26.5 l).
1. Shut the engine off and set the parking brake.
2. Clean the area around the fuel tank cap (Fig. 3).

3. Remove the fuel tank cap.
4. Fill the tank to about one inch (25 mm) below the top of
tank, (bottom of the filler neck). This space in the tank
allows gasoline to expand. Do not overfill.
5. Install the fuel tank cap securely. Wipe up any fuel that
may have spilled.

Checking the Tire Pressure

Check the tire pressure every 8 hours or daily to ensure
proper levels.
The air pressure range for the front and rear tires is
8–22 psi (55–103 kPa).
The air pressure needed is determined by the payload
carried. The lower the air pressure, the less the compaction,
smoother the ride, and tire marks are minimized. Lower
pressure should not be used for heavy payloads at high
speeds.
Higher pressures should be used for heavier payloads at
higher speeds. Do not exceed the maximum pressure.

Checking the Transmission Oil

The transaxle fluid level should be at the bottom of the
level indicator hole (Fig. 4). If it is not, fill the reservoir
with the appropriate fluid; refer to Changing the Transaxle
Fluid, page 28, steps 3 and 4.

Operation

Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine
from the normal operating position.

Think Safety First

Please carefully read all of the safety instructions and
symbols in the safety section. Knowing this information
could help you or bystanders avoid injury.

Controls

Accelerator Pedal
The accelerator pedal (Fig. 5) gives the operator the ability
to vary the engine and ground speed of the vehicle.
Depressing the pedal increases the engine RPM and ground
speed. Releasing the pedal decreases the engine RPM and
ground speed. Maximum forward speed is 16 MPH
(26 km/h).
