STACKING

WELDANPOWER 125 machines CANNOT be stacked.

TILTING

Place the machine on a secure, level surface whenev- er you use it or store it. Any surfaces you place it on other than the ground must be firm, non-skid, and structurally sound.

The gasoline engine is designed to run in a level posi- tion for best performance. It can operate at an angle, but this should never be more than 15 degrees in any direction. If you do operate it at a slight angle, be sure to check the oil regularly and keep the oil level full. Also, fuel capacity will be a little less at an angle.

LIFTING

The WELDANPOWER 125 should be lifted by two peo- ple. (It weighs 190 lbs/86.4 kg.) Its welded tube roll cage is designed to make lifting easy.

OIL

The WELDANPOWER 125 is shipped with

the engine filled with SAE 10W-30 oil.

CHECK THE OIL LEVEL BEFORE YOU START THE ENGINE. This is an added precaution. Do not screw in the dipstick when checking the oil. If it is not full, add enough oil to fill it. DO NOT OVERFILL. Be sure the fill plug is tight.

For more oil fill and service information, see the Maintenance section of this manual.

FUEL

Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh, regular grade lead-free gasoline. DO NOT MIX OIL

WITH THE GASOLINE.

The WELDANPOWER 125 has a plastic, 1.6 gallon (6.0 liter) fuel tank mounted on the engine. See the Operation and Maintenance sections of this manual for more details about fuel.

PRE-OPERATION ENGINE SERVICE

Read and understand the information about the gaso- line engine in the Operation and Maintenance sec- tions of this manual before you operate the WELDANPOWER 125.

WARNING

Keep hands away from the engine muffler or HOT engine parts.

Stop the engine when fueling.

Do not smoke when fueling.

Remove the fuel cap slowly to release pressure.

Do not overfill the fuel tank.

Wipe up spilled fuel and allow the fumes to clear before starting the engine.

Keep sparks and flame away from the fuel tank.

SPARK ARRESTER

Gasoline engine mufflers may emit sparks when the engine is running. Some federal, state, or local laws require spark arresters in locations where unarrested sparks could present a fire hazard.

Standard mufflers and deflectors (like the ones includ- ed with the WELDANPOWER 125) do not act as spark arresters. When local laws require it, a spark arrester must be installed on the machine and properly main- tained. Consult Briggs & Stratton for proper engine spark arrester.
