a. Use only an approved fuel container. b. Never carry or fill containers inside the vehicle's bed or on a truck or trailer. Always place containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling. c. When practical, remove gaspowered vehicle from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel on a trailer with a portable container, rather than from a fuel dispenser nozzle. d. Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device. e. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition. f. Never fuel indoors. g. Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine is hot or running. Allow engine to cool at least two minutes before refueling. h. Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than one inch below bottom of filler neck to allow space for fuel expansion. Leave additional room for fuel expansion if the utility vehicle will be in a high-altitude situation. i. Replace fuel cap and tighten securely. j. If fuel is spilled, wipe it off immediately. Move vehicle to another area. Wait 5 minutes before starting the engine. k. To reduce fire hazards, keep engine compartment and exhaust system free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage and remove any fuel soaked debris. l. Never store the vehicle or fuel container inside where there is an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a water heater, space heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other gas appliances. General Service 1. Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated area. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless, and deadly gas. 2. Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain all moving parts have stopped. Remove the key to prevent unintended starting. 3. Check brake operation frequently as it is subjected to wear during normal operation. Adjust and service as required. 4. The cooling system is under pressure, never remove the radiator cap when the system is hot. Slowly turn the cap to the first stop to release pressure before removing the cap. 5. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the vehicle is in safe working condition. 6. Never tamper with the safety interlock system or other safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly. 7. Never attempt to make adjustments or repairs to the vehicle while the engine is running. 8. Wait for vehicle to cool before servicing exhaust or coolant system. 9. Stop vehicle on level ground. Place shift lever in park before servicing. 10. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary. 11. Follow the vehicle maintenance and service schedules to ensure that all mechanical and safety systems are working properly and not worn excessively. Failure to do so can result in accidents, injuries or death. 12. Observe proper disposal laws and regulations for gas, oil, etc. to protect the environment. 13. Prior to disposal, determine the proper method to dispose of waste from your local Environmental Protection Agency. Recycling centers are established to properly dispose of materials in an environmentally safe fashion. 14. Use proper containers when draining fluids. Do not use food or beverage containers that may mislead someone into drinking from them. Properly dispose of the containers immediately following the draining of fluids. 15. DO NOT pour oil or other fluids into the ground, down a drain or into a stream, pond, lake or other body of water. Observe Environmental Protection Agency regulations when disposing of oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid, filters, batteries, tires and other harmful waste. 16. We do not recommend the use of a pressure washer to clean your vehicle. They may cause damage to electrical components; wheel spindles; pulleys; bearings; or the engine. The use of highpressure water will result in shortened life and reduce serviceability. Do not modify engine To avoid serious injury or death, do not modify engine in any way. Tampering with engine can lead it to operate at unsafe speeds. Never tamper with factory setting of the engine and its components.
