To change the light position, remove the lock pin (3),
move the arm to the desired position, and reinstall
the lock pin to secure in place.
The light is mounted to the pivot bracket using a fric-
tion washer that allows the light to pivot forward or
backward when it contacts an object. If the arm gets
knocked out of position, manually move the arm back
into alignment.

Weight Adjustment
The suspension seat can be adjusted
A
for the operator’s weight.
1. Park the power unit on a level
surface and engage the parking
brake.
2. With the operator sitting on the
seat, turn the knob (A) on the front of the seat
clockwise to increase the amount of suspension
for a heavier operator. Turn the knob counter-
clockwise to reduce the amount of suspension for
a lighter operator. Adjust the seat to the comfort
of the operator.
Operating On Slopes
WARNING
Operation on slopes decreases the power unit sta-
bility and increases the potential for unexpected dif-
culties. Only experienced operators should operate
the power unit on slopes and extra caution should
be exercised.
Use low range when operating on slopes greater
than 15 degrees.
Never shift between high and low range while on a
slope. Always move the machine to level ground and
engage the parking brake before shifting range.
Avoid uneven, loose, or wet terrain.
Stay clear of drop-os, holes, ditches, rocks, or ob-
jects that could cause a sudden and/or unexpected
force on the power unit.
Make slow and cautious starts, stops, and turns.
Do not exceed the maximum degree of operation.
Refer to the power unit capability illustrations.
Turn downhill when possible and/or reduce the
degree of turns.
Ensure a sucient supply of fuel for continuous
operation. A minimum of one-half tank of fuel is
recommended.
To prevent fuel spillage, do not remove the fuel tank
cap while the power unit is on a slope.
Failure to follow safety instructions while operating
on slopes can result in injury or death. Always use
caution when operating on slopes.
ATTENTION
Maximum angle of operation for the engine
(Kawasaki FD851D) in the 4500P power unit: 30°
continuous.
