there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light, such
as on a water heater or other appliance.

Keep all parts of the machine in good working
condition and all hardware tightened.

Replace all worn, damaged, or missing decals.

Use care when loading or unloading the machine
into a trailer or a truck.

Towing the Machine
In case of an emergency, you can tow the machine
for a short distance; however, this is not the standard
operating procedure.
WARNING
Towing at excessive speeds could cause a
loss of steering control, resulting in personal
injury.
Never tow the machine at faster than 8 km/h
(5 mph).
Note:
The power steering does not function,
making it difficult to steer.
Towing the machine is a 2-person job. If you must
move the machine a considerable distance, transport
it on a truck or trailer.
