Specifications

GB - 9
• Never store the machine or fuel container where there
is an open flame, spark, or pilot light such as on a
water heater or other appliance.
• Prevent fire and explosion caused by static electric
discharge. Static electric discharge can ignite fuel
vapors in an ungrounded fuel container.
• 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 fueling.
• Remove fuel-powered 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 fuel dispenser nozzle.
• Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank
or container opening at all times until the fueling is
complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
• Never overfill fuel tank. Replace fuel tank cap and
tighten securely.
• Replace all fuel container caps securely after use.
• For gasoline engines, do not use gas with methanol.
Methanol is harmful to your health and to the
environment.
Handling Waste Product 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.
1. Remove the unit from shipping container.
2. Adjust tire pressure to 55 to 110 kPa (8 to 16 psi).
3. Check the adjustments outlined in Service &
Adjustments.
4. Check engine oil level. See engine manual.
5. Add clean fuel to the fuel tank. See engine manual for
type and grade.
6. Check for loose hardware.
7. Be sure that safety interlock system operates correctly.
See Check Safety Interlock System on page 11.
8. Be sure that unit tracks straight.
Unit must not pull sharply to the left or right when the
steering levers are released. See TRACKING
ADJUSTMENT on page 18.
ASSEMBLY
WARNING: AVOID INJURY. Read and
understand the entire Safety section before
proceeding.
CAUTION: Avoid injury! Explosive separation of
tire and rim parts is possible when they are
serviced incorrectly:
• Do not attempt to mount a tire without the
proper equipment and experience to perform
the job.
• Do not inflate the tires above the
recommended pressure.
• Do not weld or heat a wheel and tire
assembly. Heat can cause an increase in air
pressure resulting in an explosion. Welding
can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.
• Do not stand in front or over the tire
assembly when inflating. Use a clip-on chuck
and extension hose long enough to allow you
to stand to one side.
