Tire Maintenance
Check the tire air pressure after every 50 hours of operation or weekly. Keep the tires inflated to the recommended pressures. Improper inflation will shorten the tire service life. See the tire side wall for proper inflation pressures. Observe the following guidelines:
•Do not inflate a tire above the maximum pressure shown on the sidewall of the tire.
•Do not reinflate a tire that has been run flat or seriously under inflated. Have a qualified tire mechanic inspect and service the tire.
General Battery Information
Warning!
•Should battery acid accidentally splatter into the eyes or onto the skin, rinse the affected area immediately with clean cold water. If there is any further discomfort, seek prompt medical attention.
•If acid spills on clothing, first dilute it with clean water, then neutralize with a solution of ammonia/ water or baking soda/water.
•NEVER connect (or disconnect) battery charger clips to the battery while the charger is turned on, as it can cause sparks.
•Keep all sources of ignition (cigarettes, matches, lighters) away from the battery. The gas generated during charging can be combustible.
•As a further precaution, only charge the battery in a well ventilated area.
•Always shield eyes and protect skin and clothing when working near batteries.
•Batteries contain sulfuric acid and may emit explosive gases. Use extreme caution when handling batteries. Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
