4.1.9 Transmission Shift Lever:
Located under the control console and behind the fuel tank. It shifts the 5-speed
transmission into five forward gears, neutral, and reverse. Shift transmission only
when drive levers are in the neutral position. Shifting without drive levers in
neutral may cause damage to the transmission.
NOTE: Reverse is "reverse assist" only, meaning when the transmission is in
reverse, the operator has to pull the unit backward to "assist" with the
movement of the unit.

4.2 Pre-Start

POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦ In certain conditions gasoline is extremely flammable
and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦ A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you, others,
and cause property damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦ DO NOT smoke while refueling, and stay away from an
open flame or where gasoline fumes may be ignited by
spark.
♦ Refuel only outdoors.
♦ Store gasoline in an approved container and keep it
out of the reach of children.
♦ Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the
cap of the fuel tank or add fuel when engine is running
or when the engine is hot.
♦ Never fill the fuel tank so that the gasoline level rises
above a level that is 1/2" below the bottom of the filler
neck to allow for gasoline expansion and prevent fuel
spillage.
♦ If fuel is spilled, DO NOT attempt to start the engine.
Move away from the area of the spill and avoid
creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have
dissipated.
