LeeBoy 400T - Refueling Precautions; Battery Precautions; Tire Precautions

Refueling Precautions
• Fuel is highly ammable and should be handled with
care. Death or serious injury can occur due to an
explosion or re.
• When refueling, keep the hose nozzle or the funnel
in contact with the metal of the fuel tank to avoid the
possibility of an electrical spark lighting the fuel.
Maintain control of ller nozzle.
• DO NOT ll tank to capacity. Allow room for expansion
to reduce the risk of fuel expanding and spilling from
the tank.
• DO NOT overll the fuel tank as overow creates a re
hazard when spilled onto hot components.
DO NOT smoke when refueling and
never refuel when the engine is running.
• Tighten fuel cap securely. Should fuel cap be lost,
only replace it with an original manufacturer-approved
cap. Pressurization of the tank may result from use of
non-approved cap.
• Prevent res by keeping the machine clean of
accumulated debris, grease and spilled fuel.
• Use the correct fuel grade for the operating season.
Battery Precautions
Keep all sparks and ames away from
batteries. Gas emitted by electrolytes is explosive.
Acid propelled by an explosion can
cause blindness if it comes into contact with eyes.
ALWAYS wear safety glasses when working near
batteries.
• If you come into contact with battery electrolyte
solution, wash off immediately. Chemicals can cause
burns.
• Always disconnect the battery ground cable before
working on the electrical system to avoid injury from
sparks or short circuit.
• To avoid electrolyte loss, DO NOT tip batteries more
than 45 degrees.
• Use jumper cables ONLY as prescribed on Page
5-11. Improper use can result in battery explosion or
unexpected roller motion.
Tire Precautions
DO NOT mount or demount tires
without proper training. A violent explosion can
occur.
Follow all procedures and safety instructions. Wall
charts containing mounting and demounting instructions
for all rims are available through the United States
Department of Transportation (DOT), Washington, D.C.
When in doubt, contact a qualied
tire dealer or repair service to perform required tire
maintenance.
Inspection
• Clean rims and repaint to stop detrimental effects of
corrosion and facilitate checking and tire mounting.
• Be very careful to clean all dirt and rust from rims.
This is important for securing rims into the proper
position.
• Check rim components periodically for cracks.
Replace all cracked, badly worn, severely rusted, and
otherwise damaged components with new parts of the
same size and type. If you are not sure about proper
mating of tire and wheel parts, consult a wheel and rim
expert.
DO NOT attempt to rework, weld,
heat, or braze any rim components that are cracked,
broken or damaged. Replace damaged components
with new parts of the same size and type. Mixing
parts of one type with those of another is potentially
dangerous.
DO NOT reinate a at tire without
rst inspecting the tire, tube, ap, rim, and wheel
assembly for damage. Be sure parts are secured
before ination.
Demounting
• Do not attempt to demount a tire unless you have the
proper equipment and experience to do the job.
• Remove valve core to exhaust all air from tire.
ALWAYS exhaust all air from tire prior to removing
rim components or wheel components (such as nuts
or rim clamps). Check the valve stem by running a
piece of wire through the stem to make sure it is not
plugged.
