Storage Safety Rules:
Never store the ABI Force in an area accessible by children and remove the keys before storage.
Never store the ABI Force with fuel inside the tank inside a building where fumes could reach an open flame or
spark.
Allow the ABI Force engine to cool before storing in an enclosed area.
Lubricate all moving parts of the ABI Force to prevent rust during long periods of storage.
Remove all accumulated debris from the ABI Force and all attachments before storing.
Operating the ABI Force:
This section is intended to help you the operator get
the ABI Force off the shipping crate and ready for
setup. Before removing the ABI Force from the
shipping crate read and fully understand this
manual. If there are any questions on the operation
or setup of the ABI Force please contact ABI’s
Customer Support staff at: 855-211-0598 M-F 8am-
8pm.
**Note to Operator – Never operate the ABI Force
on an incline that is greater than 15%.
Removing from Shipping Crate:
1. Remove any banding from around the Force and
additional attachments.
2. If any of the optional attachments were
purchased with the ABI Force, remove them
from the shipping crate and place off to the
side.
3. Remove all of the outside supports from around
the shipping crate.
4. Before starting the ABI Force make sure to
check the oil levels on the unit. The motor oil
and the hydraulic oil will need to be checked to
make sure that both are full prior to starting the
ABI Force. The engine oil dip stick is located
inside the chassis of the ABI Force. Refer to
Figures 1.1 for reference or go to Maintenance
section Briggs and Stratton manual for
information. To check the hydraulic fluid for the
ABI Force used the check gauge located below
the control panel on the right side of the
chassis. Refer to Figure 1.2 for reference. Both
oils in the ABI Force should be full. If they are
not fill them to the proper level before
operation. **Note to the operator: Always
check fluid levels on a flat surface to ensure the
level of the oil is properly read. ABI ships the
ABI Force with oil prefilled in units.
5. Next, locate the gas tank on the right side of the
ABI Force. The unit does not ship with gas in the
tank, so gas will need to be added prior to
starting the ABI Force. Refer to the Briggs and
Stratton owner’s manual for information on
octane level recommended. Use Figure 1.3 for
reference to gas tank
6. Once all the oil levels have been checked, and
gas has been added to tank, the ABI Force is
ready to be started.
