DANGER: Observe usual fuel handling precautions: Do not smoke while refueling. Extinguish all ciga- rettes, cigars, pipes andother sources of ignition.

Do not remove fuel cap or fill tank with engine run- ning or while engine is hot. Clean up any gasoline spills.

Allow engine to cool before storing machine inside a building.

Keep fuel away from open flame or spark and store machine away from open flame or spark or pilot light such as on a water heater or other appliances.

Use extreme care when handling gasoline and other fuels. They are extremely flammable and vapors are explosive. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and can damage property.

Never refuel or drain the fuel from the machine indoors.

Never attempt to start engine when there is a strong odor of gasoline fumes present. Locate and correct cause.

Store gasoline in an approved container and keep it out of the reach of children. Never buy more than a 30 day supply of gasoline.

Always place gasoline containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.

Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners. Always place gasoline containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.

When practical, remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel the equipment with its wheels on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on the truck or trailer using a portable container and not a gasoline dispenser noz- zle. If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used, keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is com- plete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

Read and observe safety precautions elsewhere in this manual.

Engine oil and filter

Check engine oil daily and after every 4 hours of operation. Tractor must be setting level when checking oil. Refer to engine manual and maintenance schedule for oil recommendation and capacities.

Change the engine oil and filter after the first 5 hours of operation, per the engine manufacturer’s recommendations after that. If tractor is being operated in extremely dirty conditions, then it is recommended oil be changed more frequently. IMPORTANT: When removing the oil filter take precautions to minimize oil spillage on the exhaust system.

Attach the oil drain hose, furnished with the unit, to the oil drain valve when draining the engine oil. Oil drain hose must be removed after oil is drained. IMPORTANT: All oil drips or spills must be cleaned off of the exhaust system before operating the machine. Fig. 5-2
