Loading the Cargo Bed
Use the following guidelines when loading the cargo
bed and operating the machine:
•
Observe the weight capacity of the machine and
limit the weight of the load that you carry in the
cargo bed as described in
Specifications (page
15) and on the gross vehicle weight tag of the
machine.
Note:
The load rating is specified for machine
operation on a level surface only.
•
Reduce the weight of the load that you carry in the
cargo bed when operating the machine on hills
and rough terrain.
•
Reduce the weight of the load that you carry when
the materials are tall (and have a high center of
gravity), such as a stack of bricks, landscaping
timbers, or fertilizer bags. Distribute the load as
low as possible to ensure that the load does not
reduce your ability to see behind the machine
when operating it.
•
Keep loads centered by loading the cargo bed as
follows:
– Evenly position the weight in the cargo bed
from side to side.
Important:
Tipping over is more likely to
occur if the cargo bed is loaded to 1 side.
– Evenly position the weight in the cargo bed
from front to back.
Important:
Loss of steering control or the
machine may tip over if you position the
load behind the rear axle and the traction
on the front tires is reduced.
•
Use extra caution when transporting oversized
loads in the cargo bed, particularly when you
cannot center the weight of the oversize load to
the cargo bed.
•
Whenever possible, secure the load by binding it
to the cargo bed so that it does not shift.
•
When transporting liquids, use caution when
driving the machine uphill or downhill, when
suddenly changing speed or stopping, or when
driving over rough surfaces.
The capacity of the cargo bed is 0.28 m 3 (10 ft 3 ).
The amount (volume) of material that you can place
in the bed without exceeding the load ratings of the
machine can vary greatly depending on the density
of the material.
Refer to the following table for load volume limits with
various materials:

Starting the Engine
1. Sit in the operator seat, insert the key into the
key switch, and rotate the key clockwise to the
O
N
or S
TART
position.
There are 2 modes of starting the machine:
•
Pedal Start —turn the key switch to the O
N
position and press down the accelerator
pedal.
Note:
When you remove your foot from the
accelerator pedal, the engine shuts off.
•
Key Start —turn the key switch to the S
TART
position and the engine remains on until the
is turned to the O
FF
position.
Note:
When using key start mode, you can
engage the parking brake and work away from
the machine while the engine still runs and the
battery holds a charge.
Note:
If you turn the key to the S
TART
position,
the engine cranks until it starts. If the engine
cranks for more than 10 seconds, return to the
O
FF
position, and determine the issue (e.g., the
choke controls needs to be engaged, check the
air cleaner for restrictions, ensure that the fuel
tank is full, the spark is bad, etc.) before starting
the machine again.
Note:
When equipped with the optional backup
alarm, if you move the gear-shift selector to the
R
EVERSE
position when the key switch is in the
O
N
or S
TART
position, a buzzer sounds to warn
the operator that the machine is in reverse gear.
2. Move the gear-shift selector to the desired
direction of travel for the machine.
3. Disengage the parking brake.
4. Slowly step on the accelerator pedal.
