2. Clean around each fuel tank cap and remove
the cap. Add fuel to both fuel tanks, until the
level is 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 to 13 mm) below
the bottom of the filler neck. This space in the
tank allows the fuel to expand. Do not fill the
fuel tanks completely full.
3. Install fuel tank caps securely. Wipe up any
fuel that may have spilled.
4. If possible, fill the fuel tank after each use. This
will minimize possible buildup of condensation
inside the fuel tank.
Checking the Engine Oil
Level
Before you start the engine and use the machine,
check the oil level in the engine crankcase; refer to
Checking the Oil Level in Engine Maintenance,
page 35
Switching the Fuel Tanks
Important:
Do not run the machine out of
fuel.
The fuel selector valve is located behind the left
side of the seat.
The unit has two fuel tanks. One tank is on the left
side and one on the right side. Each tank connects
to the fuel selector valve. From there a common
fuel line leads to the engine (Figure 5).
To use the left side fuel tank rotate the fuel selector
valve to the LH position, lefthand location. To use
the right side fuel tank rotate the fuel selector valve
to the RH position, righthand location (Figure 5)
Close the fuel selector valve before transporting
or storing machine.

Using the Rollover
Protection System (ROPS)
To avoid injury or death from rollover: keep
the roll bar in the raised locked position and
use the seat belt.
Ensure that the rear part of the seat is
secured with the seat latch.
There is no rollover protection when the roll
bar is in the down position.
• Lower the roll bar only when absolutely
necessary.
• Do not wear the seat belt when the roll
bar is in the down position.
• Drive slowly and carefully.
• Raise the roll bar as soon as clearance
permits.
• Check carefully for overhead clearances
(i.e. branches, doorways, electrical wires)
before driving under any objects and do
not contact them.
Important:
Lower the roll bar only when
absolutely necessary.
1. To lower the roll bar, remove the hairpin cotter
pins and remove the two pins (Figure 7).
