Stability Data The following tables list the maximum slope recommended for the traction unit in the positions listed in the tables. Slopes over the listed degree may cause the traction unit to become unstable. The data in the tables assume that the loader arms are fully lowered; raised arms may affect the stability. In each attachment manual is a set of three stability ratings, one for each hill position.
Operation In certain conditions during fueling, static electricity can be released causing a spark which can ignite the gasoline vapors. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and can damage property. Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Important: Before operating, check the fuel and oil level, and remove debris from the traction unit. Also, ensure that the area is clear of people and debris.
Note: A fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most effective when mixed with fresh gasoline. To minimize the chance of varnish deposits in the fuel system, use fuel stabilizer at all times. Filling the Fuel Tank 1. Park the traction unit on a level surface, lower the loader arms, and stop the engine. 2. Remove the key and allow the engine to cool. 3. Clean around the fuel tank cap and remove it. Figure 14 4. Add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank, until the level is just below the bottom of the filler neck. 1.
Important: If the engine is run at high speeds when the hydraulic system is cold (i.e., when the ambient air temperature is near freezing or lower), hydraulic system damage could occur. When starting the engine in cold conditions, allow the engine to run in the middle throttle position for 2 to 5 minutes before moving the throttle to fast (rabbit). Note: If outdoor temperature is below freezing, store the traction unit in a garage to keep it warmer and aid in starting. Figure 15 1. Filler neck cap 2.
