SAFETY

•When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side and NOT in front of or over the tire assembly.

•Check tires for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, damaged rims or missing lug bolts and nuts.

Handling Fuel Safely

Fuel and fuel vapors are highly flammable:

•Do not refuel machine while you smoke, when machine is near an open flame or sparks, or when engine is running. Stop engine and allow to cool before filling.

•Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel with the engine running.

•Never fill fuel tank or drain fuel from a machine in an enclosed area. Fill fuel tank outdoors.

•Prevent fires. Clean up spilled fuel immediately. If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.

•Do not store fuel in container or machine with fuel in tank in a building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark.

•Prevent fire and explosion caused by static electric discharge. Use only non-metal, portable fuel containers approved by the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) or the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). If using a funnel, make sure it is plastic and has no screen or filter.

•Static electric discharge can ignite gasoline vapors in an ungrounded fuel container. Remove the fuel container from the bed of a vehicle or the trunk of a car and place on the ground away from the vehicle before filling. Keep nozzle in contact with container opening while filling. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

•When practical, remove equipment from trailers or truck beds and refuel them on the ground. If this is not possible, use a portable, plastic fuel container to refuel equipment on a truck bed or trailer.

•For gasoline engines, do not use gas with methanol.

Methanol is harmful to your health and to the environment.

Handling Waste Products and Chemicals

Waste products, such as, used oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid, and batteries, can harm the environment and people:

•Do not use beverage containers for waste fluids - someone may drink from them.

•See your local Recycling Center or authorized dealer to learn how to recycle or get rid of waste products.

•A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides specific details on chemical products: physical and health hazards, safety procedures, and emergency response techniques.

The seller of the chemical products used with your machine is responsible for providing the MSDS for that product.
