General Information
Correct care of your engine will result
in longer life, better performance, and
more economical operation.
Follow the daily maintenance checks
listed in “Maintenance Schedule” on
page 5-4.
Check the engine oil pressure and
engine coolant gauges, warning lights,

they are operational.
Combustible vapors near the air in-
take system could be ingested into
the engine, causing the engine to
suddenly accelerate and overspeed.
This condition could result in opera-
tor losing control of the vehicle if an
unexpected increase in engine rpm
occurs. Combustible vapors could
also cause a fire. Do not operate
your vehicle in an area where com-
bustible chemicals or vapors may be
present. Failure to comply may re-
sult in death, personal injury, equip-
ment or property damage.
WARNING!
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF
THE OWNER AND OPERATOR TO
