Note: The machine is shipped with a filled lead acid
battery.
Charging the battery may produce explosive
gasses. Battery gasses can explode causing
serious injury.
• Keep sparks, flames, or cigarettes away from
battery.
• Ventilate when charging or using battery in
an enclosed space.
• Make sure venting path of battery is always
open once battery is filled with acid.
1. Check the voltage of the battery with a digital
voltmeter. Locate the voltage reading of the battery
in the table below and charge the battery for the
recommended time interval to bring the charge up
to a full charge of 12.6 volts or greater.
Important: Make sure the negative battery
cables are disconnected and the battery charger
used for charging the battery has an output of
16 volts and 7 amps or less to avoid damaging
the battery (see chart for recommended charger
settings).

If the ignition is in the "ON" position there
is potential for sparks and engagement of
components. Sparks could cause an explosion
or moving parts could accidentally engage
causing personal injury
Be sure ignition switch is in the "OFF" position
before charging the battery.
2. Connect the negative battery cables.
Note: If the positive cable is also disconnected,
connect the positive (red) cable to the positive
battery terminal first, then the negative (black) cable
to the negative battery terminal. Slip insulator boot
over the positive terminal.
Note: If time does not permit charging the battery,
or if charging equipment is not available, connect
the negative battery cables and run the vehicle
continuously for 20 to 30 minutes to sufficiently
charge the battery.
Positioning the Discharge Chute
Loosen the two 3/8 inch nyloc nuts attaching the
discharge chute. Lower the discharge chute into
position. Retighten the nyloc nuts until the chute is snug
but can pivot freely.
Servicing the Engine
Check the engine oil level.
Refer Engine Owner's Manual.
Servicing the Engine Coolant
The machine is shipped filled with engine coolant.
Discharge of hot pressurized coolant or
touching hot radiator and surrounding parts
can cause severe burns.
• Do Not remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. Always allow the engine to
cool at least 15 minutes or until the radiator
cap is cool enough to touch without burning
your hand before removing the radiator cap.
• Do Not touch radiator and surrounding
parts that are hot.
