Front Stand The front stand must be locked in the down position whenever the unit is in use and up in the transport position when moving or towing the unit. CAUTION! Front stand must be locked in the transport position before towing the unit. 1. Remove the hair pin from clevis pin and clevis pin from front stand. 2. Rotate stand back against the beam and insert the clevis pin through the rear hole in the stand and beam. Secure with the hair pin. Work Position Filling Fuel Tank 1. Clean fuel cap and surrounding area to prevent dust, dirt, and debris from entering fuel tank. 2. Remove fuel cap and fill fuel tank to the bottom of filler neck. See SPECIFICATIONS section for fuel tank capacity. 3. Replace fuel cap and tighten. 4. ALWAYS clean up spilled fuel. IMPORTANT ALWAYS use gasoline that meets the following guidelines: • Clean, fresh gasoline. • A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). High altitude use may require a different octane. Consult your engine manual. • Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable. • Use of any gasoline other than those approved above may void the engine warranty. If the pumps are not marked for the content of alcohol or ethers, check ethanol and MTBE levels with the fuel supplier. Transport Position • Do not modify the fuel system to use different fuels. • Never mix oil and gasoline. IMPORTANT INFORMATION The rear stabilizer must be in the transport position before placing the beam in vertical operating position (see Rear Stabilizer). WARNING! Gasoline is extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive, handle with care. IMPORTANT Excessively oxygenated or reformulated fuels (fuels blended with alcohols or ethers) can damage the fuel system or cause performance problems. If any undesirable operating problems occur, use a gasoline with a lower percentage of alcohol or ether. NOTE: All gasoline is not the same. If the engine experiences starting or performance problems after using a new gasoline, switch to a different fuel provider or fuel brand. IMPORTANT DO NOT OVERFILL! This equipment and/or its engine may include evaporative emissions control system components, required to meet EPA and/ or CARB regulations, that will only function properly when the fuel tank has been filled to the recommended level. Overfilling may cause permanent damage to evaporative emissions control system components. Filling to the recommended level ensures a vapor gap required to allow for fuel expansion. Pay close attention while filling the fuel tank to ensure that the recommended fuel level inside the tank is not exceeded. Use a portable gasoline container with an appropriately sized dispensing spout when filling the tank. Do not use a funnel or other device that obstructs the view of the tank filling process. - 13 -
