Safety
DANGER
DANGER
In certain conditions gasoline is extremely
flammable and vapors are explosive.
In certain conditions during fueling, static
electricity can be released causing a spark
which can ignite gasoline vapors. A fire or
explosion from gasoline can burn you and
others and cause property damage.
A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn
you, others, and cause property damage.
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors in an open
area, when the engine is cold. Wipe up
any gasoline that spills.
• Always place gasoline containers on the
ground away from your vehicle before
filling.
• Never refill the fuel tank or drain the
machine indoors or inside an enclosed
trailer.
• Do Not fill gasoline containers inside a
vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed because
interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners
may insulate the container and slow the
loss of any static charge.
• Do Not fill the fuel tank completely
full. Add gasoline to the fuel tank until
the level is 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6–13 mm)
below the bottom of the filler neck. This
empty space in the tank allows gasoline
to expand.
• When practical, remove gas-powered
equipment from the truck or trailer and
refuel the equipment with its wheels on
the ground.
• Never smoke when handling gasoline,
and stay away from an open flame or
where gasoline fumes may be ignited by
spark.
• If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment on a truck or trailer from a
portable container, rather than from a
gasoline dispenser nozzle.
• Store gasoline in an approved container
and keep it out of the reach of children.
• If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be
used, keep the nozzle in contact with the
rim of the fuel tank or container opening
at all times until fueling is complete.
• Add fuel before starting the engine.
Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or
add fuel when engine is running or when
the engine is hot.
WARNING
• If fuel is spilled, Do Not attempt to start
the engine. Move away from the area of
the spill and avoid creating any source of
ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated.
Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed.
Long-term exposure to vapors has caused
cancer in laboratory animals. Failure to use
caution may cause serious injury or illness.
• Do Not operate without entire exhaust
system in place and in proper working
condition.
• Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
• Keep face away from nozzle and gas
tank/container opening.
• Keep away from eyes and skin.
• Never siphon by mouth.
• Check that the operator’s presence controls,
safety switches, and shields are attached and
functioning properly. Do Not operate unless they
are functioning properly.

Operator Presence Control (OPC)
Levers
Located on the upper handle assembly directly above
the handle grips.
Neutral Lock Latches
Located on the upper handle assembly on the ends
of the handle grips.
When these levers are depressed, the OPC system
senses that the operator is in the normal operator’s
position. When the levers are released, the OPC
system senses that the operator has moved from the
normal operating position and will kill the engine if
either the speed control lever is not in the neutral
position or the PTO is engaged.
These latches allow the operator to lock the drive
levers in a “neutral” position where the drive wheels
are not engaged in either a forward or reverse
direction.
Choke Control
Located on the front left corner of the fuel tank
support.
Choke is used to aid in starting a cold engine. The
choke control is pulled out to be in the “ON” position
and pushed in to be in the “OFF” position. Do Not
run a warm engine with choke in the “ON” position.
Throttle Control
Located on the right side of the control console.
The throttle is used to control engine speed. Moving
the throttle control forward will increase engine
speed and moving it to the rear will decrease engine
speed. Moving the throttle forward into the detent
