Operation
Note: Determine the left and right sides of the
machine from the normal operating position.
Before Operation
Before Operation Safety
General Safety
• Never allow children or people who are not trained
or physically capable to safely operate or service
the machine. Local regulations may restrict the
age of the operator . The owner is responsible for
training all operators and mechanics.
• Become familiar with the safe operation of the
equipment, operator controls, and safety signs.
• Shut of f the machine, remove the key , and wait
for all movement to stop before you leave the
operator ’ s position. Allow the machine to cool
before adjusting, servicing, cleaning, or storing it.
• Know how to stop and shut of f the machine quickly .
• Ensure that there are not more occupants (you and
your passenger(s)) than the number of handholds
equipped on the machine.
• Check that all safety devices and decals are in
place. Repair or replace all safety devices and
replace all illegible or missing decals. Do not
operate the machine unless they are present and
functioning properly .
Fuel Safety
• Use extreme care in handling fuel. It is ammable
and its vapors are explosive.
• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other
sources of ignition.
• Use only an approved fuel container .
• Do not remove the fuel cap or ll the fuel tank
while the engine is running or hot.
• Do not add or drain fuel in an enclosed space.
• Do not store the machine or fuel container where
there is an open ame, spark, or pilot light, such
as on a water heater or other appliance.
• If you spill fuel, do not attempt to start the engine;
avoid creating any source of ignition until the fuel
vapors have dissipated.
Performing Daily
Maintenance
Service Interval : Before each use or daily
Before starting the machine each day , perform the
Each Use/Daily procedures listed in Maintenance
( page 26 ) .
Checking the T ire Pressure
Service Interval : Before each use or daily
T ire air pressure specication: 55 to 103 kPa (8
to 22 psi)
Important: Do not exceed the maximum air
pressure indicated on the sidewall of the tire.
Note: The air pressure needed in the tires is
determined by the payload that you intend to carry .
1. Check the air pressure in the tires.
Note: The air pressure in the front and rear tires
should be between 55 to 103 kPa (8 to 22 psi).
• Use lower air pressure in the tires for lighter
payloads, for less soil compaction, for a
smoother ride, and to minimize tire marks on
the ground.
• Use higher air pressure in the tires for
carrying heavier payloads at higher speeds.
2. If necessary , adjust the air pressure in the tires
by adding or removing air in the tires.
