BBEFORE INITIAL USE Read, understand and follow the safety label on the instrument panel. Be sure you understand how to operate the vehicle, it's equipment and how to use it safely. Maintaining good performance depends to a large extent on the operator. Hydrogen gas is generated as a natural part of the lead acid battery charging process. A 4% concentration of hydrogen gas is explosive and could cause severe injury or death. Charging must take place in an area that is adequately ventilated (minimum of 5 air exchanges per hour). To reduce the chance of battery explosion that could result in severe injury or death, never smoke around or charge batteries in an area that has open flame or electrical equipment that could cause an electrical arc. Before a new vehicle is put into operation, the items shown in the INITIAL SERVICE CHART must be performed (Ref. Fig. 4). The vehicle battery must be fully charged before initial use. Check for correct tire inflation. See GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS. Check for oil or fuel leaks that could have developed in shipment from the factory.
