Operation • Do Not use gasoline containing methanol. • Do Not store fuel either in the fuel tank or fuel containers over the winter unless a fuel stabilizer is used. Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. • Do Not add oil to gasoline. Attaching the Trailer DANGER This trailer uses a coupler that requires a 2 inch ball for the hitch. In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive.
Add the correct amount of gas stabilizer/conditioner to the gas. DANGER 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: 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.
