Front Stand
The front stand must be locked in the down
position whenever the unit is in use and up in
the transport position when moving or towing
the unit.
CAUTION! Front stand must be
locked in the transport position before
towing the unit.
1. Remove the hair pin from clevis pin and
clevis pin from front stand.
2. Rotate stand back against the beam
and insert the clevis pin through the
rear hole in the stand and beam. Secure
with the hair pin.
Work Position
IMPORTANT INFORMATION The rear
stabilizer must be in the transport position
before placing the beam in vertical
operating position (see Rear Stabilizer).
WARNING!
flammable and the vapors are explosive,
handle with care.
IMPORTANT Excessively oxygenated
or reformulated fuels (fuels blended with
alcohols or ethers) can damage the fuel
system or cause performance problems. If
any undesirable operating problems occur,
use a gasoline with a lower percentage of
alcohol or ether.
Transport Position
Gasoline is extremely
Filling Fuel Tank
1. Clean fuel cap and surrounding area
to prevent dust, dirt, and debris from
entering fuel tank.
2. Remove fuel cap and fill fuel tank
to the bottom of filler neck. See
SPECIFICATIONS section for fuel tank
capacity.
3. Replace fuel cap and tighten.
4. ALWAYS clean up spilled fuel.
IMPORTANT ALWAYS use gasoline that
meets the following guidelines:
• Clean, fresh gasoline.
• A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON).
High altitude use may require a different
octane. Consult your engine manual.
• Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol)
or up to 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl
ether) is acceptable.
• Use of any gasoline other than those
approved above may void the engine
warranty. If the pumps are not marked for
the content of alcohol or ethers, check
ethanol and MTBE levels with the fuel
supplier.
• Do not modify the fuel system to use
different fuels.
• Never mix oil and gasoline.
NOTE: All gasoline is not the same. If the
engine experiences starting or performance
problems after using a new gasoline, switch to
a different fuel provider or fuel brand.
IMPORTANT DO NOT OVERFILL! This
equipment and/or its engine may include
evaporative emissions control system
components, required to meet EPA and/
or CARB regulations, that will only function
properly when the fuel tank has been filled
to the recommended level.
Overfilling may cause permanent damage
to evaporative emissions control system
components. Filling to the recommended
level ensures a vapor gap required to allow
for fuel expansion. Pay close attention
while filling the fuel tank to ensure that the
recommended fuel level inside the tank is
not exceeded.
Use a portable gasoline container with an
appropriately sized dispensing spout when
filling the tank. Do not use a funnel or other
device that obstructs the view of the tank
filling process.
