4.2 FILLING THE FUEL TANK
Add fuel to the fuel tank as needed. See your engine
manual for the correct type and grade of fuel to be
used.
1. Put the unit in an open and well ventilated area
prior to refueling.
2. Stop the engine and set the parking brake.
3. Raise the seat and clean the fuel cap and in the
area around the fuel cap. Remove the cap from the
fuel tank.
4. Fill the fuel tank with the proper grade of fuel
recommended by the engine manufacturer. Be
careful not to spill any fuel.
5. Install fuel cap on the fuel tank and tighten.
6. Clean up any spilled fuel before starting engine.
4.3 GENERAL LUBRICATION
All grease fittings should be greased at 25-hour
intervals. Clean the fittings before attaching the grease
gun.
Use a moly-lithium grease. Add grease until it appears
at the ends of the bearing or ends of the shaft.
See Figure 3 for the locations of the grease fittings on
your machine.
Every 25 hours apply motor oil to all pin connections,
pivots points and areas where sliding occurs.
4.4 CHECKING FASTENERS
Each day before operating the unit, check all nuts,
bolts and other fasteners. Replace fasteners that are
missing or damaged.
Tighten all nuts and bolts that are loose.
4.5 CHECKING ENGINE OIL
Check the engine oil daily prior to use. Never operate
the engine with the oil below the low mark on the
dipstick.
See your engine manual for oil specifications and oil
filter service instructions.
To check oil level:
1. Move the unit to level location.
2. Clean around the dipstick and filter tube to prevent
dirt from entering the engine.
3. Remove the dipstick and wipe off the oil.
WARNING:
Use caution with fuel. Fuel is very
flammable. Keep fuel in a clean and tight
container. Keep fuel away from fire and heat.
Never put fuel in the fuel tank while the engine
is running or hot. Clean up any spilled fuel
before starting the engine.
