Before Operation

Before Operation Safety

General Safety
•
Never allow children or untrained people to
operate or service the machine. Local regulations
may restrict the age of the operator. The owner
is responsible for training all operators and
mechanics.
•
Become familiar with the safe operation of the
equipment, operator controls, and safety signs.
•
Ensure that passengers sit only where there are
handholds.
•
Know how to stop the machine and shut off the
engine quickly.
•
Ensure that you and your passengers do not
exceed the number of handholds equipped on the
machine.
•
Check that all safety devices and decals are in
place. Repair or replace all safety devices and
replace all illegible or missing decals. Do not
operate the machine unless they are present and
functioning properly.
Fuel Safety
•
Use extreme care in handling fuel. It is flammable
and its vapors are explosive.
•
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other
sources of ignition.
•
Use only an approved fuel container.
•
Do not remove the fuel cap or fill the fuel tank
while the engine is running or hot.
•
Do not add or drain fuel in an enclosed space.
•
Do not store the machine or fuel container where
there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light, such
as on a water heater or other appliance.
•
If you spill fuel, do not attempt to start the engine;
avoid creating any source of ignition until the fuel
vapors have dissipated.
Performing Daily
Maintenance
Before starting the machine each day, perform the
Each Use/Daily procedures listed in
(page 24).

Checking the Tire Pressure

Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Tire air pressure specification: 55 to 103 kPa (8
to 22 psi)
Important:
pressure indicated on the sidewall of the tire.
Note:
determined by the payload that you intend to carry.

Check the air pressure in the tires.
Note:
The air pressure in the front and rear tires
should be between 55 to 103 kPa (8 to 22 psi).
•
Use lower air pressure in the tires for lighter
payloads, for less soil compaction, for a
smoother ride, and to minimize tire marks on
the ground.
•
Use higher air pressure in the tires for
carrying heavier payloads at higher speeds.
If necessary, adjust the air pressure in the tires
by adding or removing air in the tires.
Figure 12
For best results, use only clean, fresh (less than
30 days old), unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating of 87 or higher ((R+M)/2 rating method).
Ethanol: Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol
(gasohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl
ether) by volume is acceptable. Ethanol and
MTBE are not the same. Gasoline with 15%
ethanol (E15) by volume is not approved for use.
Never use gasoline that contains more than
10% ethanol by volume, such as E15 (contains
15% ethanol), E20 (contains 20% ethanol), or E85
(contains up to 85% ethanol). Using unapproved
gasoline may cause performance problems and/or
engine damage which may not be covered under
warranty.
