Check the Tire Pressure
Check the tire pressure every 8 hours or daily to ensure
proper levels. Fill the tires to 18 psi (124 kPa). Also,
check the tires for wear or damage.
Add Fuel
In certain conditions, fuel is extremely
flammable and highly explosive. A fire or
explosion from fuel can burn you and others
and can damage property.
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area,
when the engine is cold. Wipe up any fuel
that spills.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add
fuel to the fuel tank until the level is 1 inch
(25 mm) below the bottom of the filler neck.
This empty space in the tank allows fuel to
expand.
• Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay
away from an open flame or where fuel
fumes may be ignited by a spark.
• Store fuel in an approved container and keep
it out of the reach of children. Never buy
more than a 30-day supply of fuel.
