and is
contained within the positive and negative ter-
minals as well as within the battery’s internal grid-
work of plates and active materials.
A. Explosive gases are generated when batteries
are re-charged, so sparks, flames and heat sources
should be avoided. Loose connections at the battery
terminals can produce sparks and heat...connections
to the terminals must be kept tight, and the terminals
and battery surfaces kept clean of acids and corro
-
sion. If batteries are re-charged or “jumped” from
external sources, make sure that the connections are
made properly and in the correct sequence...connect
to the positive terminal of the good battery first, then
connect that to the positive terminal of the weak bat
-
tery. The third connection should be to the negative
terminal of the good battery, followed by the negative
terminal of the weak battery. If sparks are observed
or heating of the wiring or connectors is detected,
disconnect in reverse order (I.E., the negative termi
-
nal of the weak battery first). Batteries should be re-
charged at a constant voltage...generally 14.5 +/- 0.5
volts DC for a nominal 12 volt DC battery.
F. Related to Fuel
1. Fuel is highly flammable and its vapors can
explode if ignited. Please respect it.
2. Do not smoke or permit others to smoke
while handling fuel.
3. Always use approved containers for fuel and
fill slowly to decrease the chance of static
electricity buildup and spillage.
4. Store fuel in well ventilated and unoccupied
buildings away from sparks and flames.
5. When dispensing gasoline into approved con-
tainers, place the container on the ground
when refueling to avoid a possible static elec
-
tricity ignition of fuel vapors.
6. Do not fill containers while it is inside a vehi-
cle, trunk, the bed of a pickup or floor of a
trailer.
7. Always shut off the engine and permit it to
cool before removing the fuel tank cap.
8. Always fill the fuel tank outdoors.
9. If the fuel container spout will not fit inside the
fuel tank opening, use a funnel.
10. When filling the fuel tank, stop when the fuel
reaches one inch from the top. This space is
necessary for tank expansion.
Do not overfill
.
11. Wipe up any spilled fuel.
G. Towing
1. Tow only with a machine that has an
approved hitch designed for towing. Do not
attach towed equipment except at the hitch
point.
2. Follow the manufacturers recommendation for
weight limits for towed equipment and towing
on slopes.
3. Never allow children or others in or on towed
equipment.
4. On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment
may cause loss of traction and loss of control.
Note: 5 degrees (9%) maximum slope.
5. Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.
H. Suspension Seat
1. This unit is equipped with a heavy-duty vinyl
fabric-covered seat incorporating adjustable
armrests, an adjustable seatback, an adjust
-
able fore/aft track, a weight/ride adjustable
mechanical suspension system, and an
Operator Presence Sensor (OPS).
2. An OPS in the form of a switch, is integrated
into the seat bottom and is connected to the
machine electrical system. The weight/ride
adjustment lever is located on the right side
of the seatback and incorporates three set
-
tings: light = 110 lbs, medium = 195 lbs, and
heavy = 286 lbs. Lever up is light and down is
heavy. Weight adjustment should be made
without the operator sitting in the seat. The
seatback recline adjustment is also on the
right side between the seat back and seat
bottom, and it provides up to 10 degrees.
3. The fore/aft single-locking adjustment tracks
operate on roller-bearings for smooth and
almost effortless operation. The lever for seat
track actuation is near the right front corner
of the seat bottom, and allows fore/aft adjust
-
ment of 4”.
4. The seat is attached to pivotal brackets,
which allow the seat assembly to pivot for
-
ward onto the foot platform area.
Note: The Operator Presence Sensor must
be connected to the electrical wiring harness.
