fuel to the fuel tank until the level is .25"
to .5" (6 mm to 13 mm) below the bottom
of the fi ller neck. This empty space in the
tank allows fuel to expand.
• Never smoke when handling fuel, and
stay away from an open fl ame or where
fuel fumes may be ignited by a spark.
• Store fuel in an approved container and
keep it out of the reach of children. Never
buy more than a 30-day supply of fuel.
• Never store antifreeze or oil in the fuel
container.
• Always place fuel containers on the ground
away from your vehicle before fi lling.
• Do not fi ll fuel containers inside a vehicle
or on a truck or trailer bed because inte-
rior carpets or plastic truck bed liners may
insulate the container and slow the loss of
any static charge.
• When practical, remove equipment from
the truck or trailer and refuel the equip-
ment with its wheels on the ground.
• If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment on a truck or trailer from a por-
table container, rather than from a fuel
dispenser nozzle.
• If a fuel dispenser nozzle must be used,
keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of
the fuel tank or container opening at all
times until fueling is complete.
• Never use cellular phones or other por-
table electronic devices when handling
fuel.
FILLING THE FUEL TANK
• Always fi ll the fuel tank with the machine
parked on a hard LEVEL surface with the
engine stopped, the park brake set, and
the key removed from the ignition.
• Do not fi ll the fuel tank completely full. Air
space is required in the full tank to allow
the fuel to expand and contract with tem-
perature changes. A valve is located in
the top center of the tank to allow air to
enter and exit the tank.
• Never fi ll the fuel tank when the engine is
hot. Allow several minutes to cool.
• Filling the fuel tank, with the machine
parked on a slope, can cause you to over
fi ll the tank.

• Do not stop, start or change directions sud-
denly on slopes.
• Use extreme care and maintain minimum
ground speed when traveling or operating
on a hillside, over rough ground, or when
operating close to ditches and fences.
• Reduce speed on slopes and sharp turns
to minimize tipping and avoid loss of con-
trol. Be careful when changing directions
on slopes.
• Stay alert for holes, rocks, roots and other
