Before Operating
SYSTEM DAMAGE COULD RESULT.
1. Clean the area around the fuel tank cap.
1. Fuel tank cap
2. Remove the fuel tank cap.
3. Fill the tank to about one inch below top of the
tank, (bottom of the filler neck). DO NOT
OVERFILL. Then install the cap.
Because fuel is flammable, caution must be used
when storing or handling it. Do not fill the fuel
tank while the engine is running, hot or when the
machine is in an enclosed area. Vapors may
build up and be ignited by a spark or flame
source many feet away. DO NOT SMOKE while
filling the fuel tank to prevent the possibility of
an explosion. Always fill the fuel tank outside
and wipe up any spilled fuel before starting the
engine. Use a funnel or spout to prevent spilling,
and fill the tank no higher than 2.5 cm (one inch)
below top of the tank, (bottom of the filler neck).
DO NOT OVER FILL.
Store fuel in a clean safety approved container
and keep the cap on the container. Keep fuel in a
cool, well-ventilated place; never in an enclosed
area such as a hot storage shed. To assure
volatility, do not buy more than a 30-day supply
of gasoline, or a 6-month supply of diesel fuel.
Since many children like the smell of gasoline,
keep it out of their reach because the fumes are
explosive and dangerous to inhale.

DANGER
4. Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled to pre-
vent a fire hazard.
CHECK THE COOLING SYSTEM
CAUTION
If the engine has been running, pressurized hot
coolant can escape if radiator cap is removed and
cause burns. Allow the engine to cool at least 15
minutes or until the radiator cap is cool enough to
touch without burning hand.
Capacity of the cooling system is approximately 3.8
liters (4 qts.).
The cooling system is filled with a 50/50 solution of
water and permanent ethylene glycol anti-freeze.
Check the level of coolant at beginning of each day
before starting the engine.
1. Park the machine on a level surface.
2. Check coolant level. Coolant should be up to the
COLD line on the reserve tank when the engine
is cold.
1. Reserve tank
2. Cold line
3. Hot line
3. If coolant is low, remove the reserve tank cap
and add a 50/50 mixture of water and permanent
ethylene glycol anti-freeze. DO NOT OVER-
FILL.
