Storage Safety

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! Engine exhaust fumes can cause sickness or death. · Catalytic mufflers reduce emissions. The effectiveness depends upon engine load and exhaust temperature levels that are not always present in skid steer operations. Catalytic mufflers WILL NOT provide fume-free exhaust for confined operations. · If it is necessary to run an engine in an enclosed area, use an exhaust duct system to remove the fumes. Always try to work in a well ventilated area. · DO NOT store vehicle with fuel in the tank inside a building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark. · Allow engine to cool before storing in any enclosure. · Remove the battery and store it in a cool dry place where it will not freeze, and where children cannot reach it.
