WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and must be
handled with care. Never fill the tank when the
engine is still hot from recent operation. Do not
allow open flame, smoking or matches in the
area. Avoid over-filling and wipe up any spills.
Do not remove fuel filter when engine is hot,
as spilled gasoline may ignite. DO NOT spread
hose clamps further than necessary. Ensure
clamps grip hoses firmly over filter after
installation.
Do not use gasoline containing
METHANOL, gasohol containing more than
10% ethanol, gasoline additives, premium
gasoline, or white gas because engine/fuel
system damage could result.
Figure 6. Checking Tire Pressure
CHECK TIRE PRESSURES
Tire pressure should be checked periodically, and
maintained at the levels shown in the chart. Note
that these pressures may differ slightly from the “Max
Inflation” stamped on the side-wall of the tires. The
pressures shown provide proper traction, improve cut
quality, and extend tire life.
Regular Maintenance
CHECKING / ADDING FUEL
To add fuel:
1. Remove the fuel cap (D, Figure 7).
2. Fill the tank to the bottom of the filler neck. This
