Think Safety First

Please carefully read all of the safety instructions
and decals in the safety section. Knowing this
information could help you or bystanders avoid
injury.
Before Driving the Sprayer
for the First Time
Check the Engine Oil
The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase;
however, the level of oil must be checked before
you first start the engine and after you have run it.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean
rag (Figure 21). Insert the dipstick into the
tube and make sure it is seated fully. Remove
the dipstick and check the oil level.

3. If the oil level is low, remove the filler cap
from the valve cover (Figure 21) and pour oil
into the opening until the oil level is up to the
Full mark on the dipstick; refer to Servicing
Engine Oil, Engine Maintenance, page 45 , for
the proper oil type and viscosity. Add the oil
slowly and check the level often during this
process. Do not overfill.
4. Install the dipstick firmly in place.
2. Filler cap
Check the Tire Pressure
Check the tire pressure every 8 hours or daily
to ensure proper levels. Fill the tires to 18 psi
(124 kPa). Also, check the tires for wear or damage.
Add Fuel
In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive. A fire or
explosion from gasoline can burn you and
others and can damage property.
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open
area, when the engine is cold. Wipe up
any gasoline that spills.
• Never fill the fuel tank inside an enclosed
trailer.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
Add gasoline to the fuel tank until the
level is 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 to 13 mm)
below the bottom of the filler neck. This
empty space in the tank allows gasoline
to expand.
• Never smoke when handling gasoline,
and stay away from an open flame or
where gasoline fumes may be ignited by
a spark.
• Store gasoline in an approved container
and keep it out of the reach of children.
Never buy more than a 30-day supply of
gasoline.
• Do not operate without entire exhaust
system in place and in proper working
condition.
