Fuel
To avoid personal injury or property damage, use
extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is
extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive.
Ethanol blends must not exceed E10. Higher
ethanol content may cause your machine to run
hotter and damage your engine.
Replace fuel cap securely and clean up spilled fuel
before starting engine.
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other
sources of ignition.
Use only an approved gasoline container.
NEVER store the machine or fuel container where
there is an open flame, spark or pilot light such as
on a water or space heater or other appliances.
NEVER fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck
or trailer bed with a plastic liner.
ALWAYS place containers on the ground away from
your vehicle before filling.
NEVER fuel the machine indoors.
NEVER remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine
running. Allow engine to cool before fueling.
Fuel is highly flammable and its vapors are
explosive. Handle with care. Use only an approved
gasoline container with an appropriately-sized
dispensing spout.
NO smoking, NO sparks, NO flames.
Remove gas-powered equipment from the trailer
and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible,
then refuel such equipment with a portable
container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser
nozzle.
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel
tank or container opening at all times until the
fueling is complete. DO NOT use a nozzle lock-open
device.
NEVER overfill fuel tank. Replace gas cap and
tighten securely.
If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing
immediately.

appropriate to your machine and can be used safely
in your application.

for
wheel weights or counterweights.

both battery
terminals at the same time may
result in injury and
unit damage. DO NOT
reverse battery connections.
Reverse connections may result in sparks which can
cause serious injury. ALWAYS connect positive (+)
lead of charger to positive (+) terminal, and negative
(-) lead to negative (-) terminal.
ALWAYS disconnect negative (-) cable FIRST and
positive (+) cable SECOND. ALWAYS connect
positive (+) cable FIRST, and negative (-) cable

Explosive gases from battery can cause death or
serious injury. Poisonous battery fluid contains
sulfuric acid and its contact with skin, eyes or
clothing can cause severe chemical burns.
No flames, No sparks, No smoking near battery.
ALWAYS wear safety glasses and protective gear
near battery. Use insulated tools.
ALWAYS keep batteries out of reach of children.
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known
