Countax B MK4 Series Operator's Manual page 10

15. Choose a low ground speed so you will not have
to stop or shift while on a slope.
16. Slow down and use extra care on hillsides. Be
sure to travel in the recommended direction on
hillsides. Turf conditions can affect the machine's
stability. Use caution while operating near
drop-offs.
17. DO NOT operate near drop-offs, ditches, or
embankments. Unit can suddenly turn over if a
wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an
edge caves in.
18. Do not bypass transmission or allow transmission
to free-wheel when on a slope.
Fuel
1. To avoid personal injury or property damage,
use extreme care in handling petrol. Petrol is
extremely flammable and the vapours are
explosive.
2. Replace fuel cap securely and clean up spilled fuel
before starting engine.
3. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other
sources of ignition.
4. Use only an approved fuel container.
5. Never store the machine or fuel container where
there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light such as
on a water or space heater or other appliances.
6. Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a
truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always
place containers on the ground away from your
vehicle before filling.
7. Never refuel the machine indoors.
8. Never remove fuel cap or add fuel with the engine
running. Allow engine to cool before refuelling.
9. Fuel is highly flammable and its vapours are
explosive. Handle with care. Use only an approved
petrol container with an appropriately sized
dispensing spout. NO smoking, NO sparks, NO
flames.
10. Remove equipment from the truck or trailer and
refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then
refuel such equipment with a portable container,
rather than from a petrol dispenser nozzle.
11. Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel
tank or container opening at all times until the
fuelling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock open
device.
Safety Rules
12. Never overfill fuel tank. Replace fuel cap and
tighten securely.
13. If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing
immediately.
14. DO NOT OVERFILL! Filling to the recommended
level ensures a vapour 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 petrol container with an appropriately
sized dispensing spout when filling the tank.
Towing
1. Attach only Countax recommended towing
equipment or accessories at designated hitch
point.
Accessories
1. Check grass catcher components and guards
frequently and replace with genuine Countax parts,
when necessary.
2. Use only Countax recommended attachments
that are appropriate to your use and can be used
safely in your application.
