CAUTION: Avoid injury. Explosive separation
of a tire and rim parts can cause serious injury
or death:
- Do not attempt to mount a tire without the
proper equipment and experience to perform
the job.
- Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do
not inflate the tires above the recommended
pressure. Never weld or heat a wheel and tire
assembly. The heat can cause an increase in air
pressure resulting in a tire explosion. Welding
can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.
- When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and
extension hose long enough to allow you to
stand to one side and NOT in front of or over
the tire assembly.
- Check tires for low pressure, cuts, bubbles,
damaged rims or missing lug bolts and nuts.

CAUTION: Avoid injury. Handle fuel with care,
it is highly flammable and can cause serious
injury or death:
- DO NOT refuel machine while you smoke,
when machine is near an open flame or sparks,
or when engine is running. STOP engine.
- Fill fuel tank outdoors.
- Prevent fires: clean oil, grease and dirt from
machine. Clean up spilled fuel immediately.
- Do not store machine with fuel in tank in a
building where fumes may reach an open flame
or spark.
- To prevent fire and explosion caused by static
electric discharge, while you fill tank, use a
non-metal fuel container. If you use a funnel,
MAKE SURE IT IS PLASTIC. Avoid using a
funnel which has a metal screen or filter.
- Use only clean approved containers and
funnels.
- Store oil and fuel in an area protected from
dust, moisture and other contamination.
- DO NOT use METHANOL gasoline.
METHANOL is harmful to the environment and
to your health.
IMPORTANT: Avoid machine damage. Avoid
spilling fuel. Fuel can damage plastic and painted
surfaces.
DO NOT mix oil with gasoline. Unleaded gasoline
with an octane rating of 87 or higher is
recommended.
