material. If the operator(s) or mec hanic(s) can

not read English it is the o wner’ s responsibility

to explain this material to them.

• Become familiar with the safe operation of the

equipment, operator controls , and safety signs .

• All operators and mec hanics should be trained.

T he o wner is responsible for training the users .

• Nev er let c hildren or untrained people operate

or ser vice the equipment. Local regulations

ma y restrict the ag e of the operator .

• T he o wner/user can prev ent and is responsible

for accidents or injuries occur ring to himself

or herself , other people or proper ty .

Preparation

• Ev aluate the ter rain to deter mine what

accessories and attac hments are needed to

properly and safely perfor m the job . Only use

accessories and attac hments appro v ed b y the

man ufacturer .

• W ear appropriate clothing including hard hat,

safety glasses and hearing protection. Long

hair , loose clothing or jew elr y ma y g et tangled

in mo ving par ts .

• Inspect the area where the equipment is to be

used and remo v e all objects suc h as roc ks , to ys

and wire whic h can be thro wn b y the mac hine .

Adding Fuel

T he engine r uns on clean, fresh diesel fuel with

a minim um octane rating of 40. Purc hase fuel

in quantities that can be used within 30 da ys to

ensure fuel freshness .

Use summer g rade diesel fuel (No . 2-D) at

temperatures abo v e 20° F (-7° C) and winter g rade

diesel fuel (No . 1-D or No . 1-D/2-D blend) belo w

20° F (-7° C). Use of winter g rade diesel fuel at

lo w er temperatures pro vides lo w er ﬂash point

and pour point c haracteristics , therefore easing

star tability and lessening c hances of c hemical

se paration of the fuel due to lo w er temperatures

(w ax appearance , whic h ma y plug ﬁlters).

Use of summer g rade diesel fuel abo v e 20° F (-7°

C) will contribute to w ard long er life of the pump

components .

Important: Do not use k er osene or gasoline

instead of diesel fuel. F ailur e to obser v e this

caution will dama ge the engine.

Fuel is har mful or f atal if s w allo w ed.

Long-ter m exposur e to v apor s can cause

serious injur y and illness.

• A v oid pr olonged br eathing of v apor s.

• K eep f ace a w ay fr om nozzle and gas tank

or conditioner opening .

• K eep gas a w ay fr om ey es and skin.

In cer tain conditions, fuel is extr emel y

ﬂamma ble and highl y explosi v e. A ﬁr e or

explosion fr om fuel can bur n y ou and other s

and can dama ge pr oper ty .

• Fill the fuel tank outdoor s, in an open

ar ea, when the engine is cold. W ipe up

an y fuel that spills.

• Nev er ﬁll the fuel tank inside an enclosed

trailer .

• Do not ﬁll the fuel tank completel y full.

Add fuel to the fuel tank until the lev el is

1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 to 13 mm) belo w the

bottom of the ﬁller neck. T his empty

space in the tank allo ws fuel to expand.

• Nev er smok e when handling fuel, and

stay a w ay fr om an open ﬂame or wher e

fuel fumes may be ignited by a spar k.

• Stor e fuel in an appr o v ed container and

k eep it out of the r each of childr en.

Nev er buy mor e than a 30-day suppl y of

fuel.

• Al w ays place fuel container s on the

g r ound a w ay fr om y our v ehicle bef or e

ﬁlling .

• Do not ﬁll fuel container s inside a v ehicle

or on a tr uck or trailer bed because

interior car pets or plastic tr uck bed liner s

may insulate the container and slo w the

loss of an y static charge.

• W hen practical, r emo v e gas-po w er ed

equipment fr om the tr uck or trailer and
