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 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.
