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.

• Never fill the fuel tank inside an enclosed

trailer.

• 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.

• Do not operate without entire exhaust

system in place and in proper working

condition.

In certain conditions during fueling, static

electricity can be released causing a spark

which can ignite the fuel vapors. A fire or

explosion from fuel can burn you and others

and can damage property.

• Always place fuel containers on the ground

away from your vehicle before filling.

• Do not fill fuel containers inside a vehicle

or on a truck or trailer bed because interior

carpets or plastic truck bed liners may

insulate the container and slow the loss of

any static charge.

• When practical, remove equipment from the

truck or trailer and refuel the equipment

with its wheels on the ground.

• If this is not possible, then refuel such

equipment on a truck or trailer from a

portable container, rather than from a fuel

dispenser nozzle.

• If a fuel dispenser nozzle must be used, keep

the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel

tank or container opening at all times until

fueling is complete.

Filling the Fuel Tank

1. Park the machine on a level surface.

Important: The fuel tanks are connected, but

the fuel does not transfer quickly from one tank

to the other. It is important when filling that

you park on a level surface. If you park on a hill,

you may inadvertently overfill the tanks.

2. Shut the engine off and set the parking brake.

3. Clean around each fuel tank cap and remove the cap.

Important: Do not open the fuel tanks when

parked on a hill. The fuel could spill out.

4. Add fuel to both fuel tanks, until the level is even

with the bottom of the filler neck (Figure 10). Do

not over fill the fuel tanks.

5. Install the fuel tank caps securely. Wipe up any fuel

that may have spilled.

Note: If possible, fill the fuel tanks after each use.

This will minimize possible buildup of condensation

inside the fuel tank.
