vehicle. Once the machine is loaded into the transport vehicle, remove and store the transport wheel
on the top deck of the machine. Secure the machine in the vehicle so it cannot move or bounce
during transporting; damage may occur to the machine and/or the vehicle and surrounding objects.
First, refer to the SAFETY INFORMATION on pages 3-8. Refer to MACHINE CLEAN UP on pg 15.
The machine must be on a level surface, with the engine switch in the OFF position, and the propane
tank valve in the CLOSED position.
Remove the propane tank from the machine, or disconnect the connection and securely fasten tank
to machine. Adjust handle of machine to comfortable position to tilt back.
To tilt back the machine, place one foot on the propane tank base bar, one hand on the handle base,
and one hand on the "T" handle. Pull back and down from the handle base, and push down with your
foot, using the "T" handle only to control lateral motion.
Once secured in a tilted back position, insert transport wheel and secure with pin provided. Push
machine forward, to desired location, unless loading machine up on a ramp into a vehicle. When
loading up a ramp into a vehicle, the machine should be pulled back rather than pushed forward, to
prevent tipping over. Return and secure transport wheel to storage slot on top deck of the machine
when not in use, and when the machine is being transported in a vehicle.
