5.12 FUEL ____________________________________________________________________
Handle fuel with care— it is flammable and highly
explosive under certain conditions. Use an approved
container. The spout must fit inside the fuel filler neck.
Do not use
cans and funnels to transfer fuel.
1.
Fill the fuel tank to within 1 in. (25 mm) of the bottom
of the filler neck.
2.
Store fuel according to federal, state and local
ordinances and recommendations from your fuel
supplier.
3.
Never overfill or allow the tank to become empty.
Check fuel level in the tank by turning the ignition
switch to the ON position and reading the level
indicated by the fuel gauge.
4.
Check fuel lines and clamps every 50 hours.
Replace fuel lines and clamps at the first sign of
damage.
5.
The fuel tank capacity is 6.5 gal. (24.5 l). Fill tank
using the following fuel recommendations:
Diesel Engine
a.
Use clean, fresh, #2 Diesel fuel when operating
temperature is above 20° F (-7° C). Minimum
Cetane rating 45.
b.
Use clean, fresh, #1 Diesel fuel when operating
temperature is below 20° F (-7° C). If #1D fuel is
not available a winterized blend of #1D and #2D
may be available. This blended fuel is usually
called #2D and may be used in colder climates.
Do not use #2D unless you are sure it has been
winterized
. Cold temperatures may cause it to
thicken which will keep your vehicle from running
properly.
c.
DO NOT
use Aviation Fuel JP4. Refer to Engine
Manual for additional information.
Gas Engine:
Use clean fresh Unleaded Gasoline, 87
octane or higher.
5.13 FUEL SYSTEM ____________________________________________________________
The Kubota diesel engine in the Haulster is self priming.
It is not required to purge air from the system.
Refer to
Section 7.3
for specific maintenance intervals.
Before replacing any filter thoroughly clean the filter
housing and the area around the filter. Dirt must not be
allowed to enter into fuel system.
5.14 TIRE PRESSURE __________________________________________________________
Keep tires properly inflated to prolong tire life. Check
inflation pressure while the tires are cool. Inspect tread
wear.
Lower pressure will help avoid leaving tire marks in soft
turf. Higher pressures may be required for heavier loads.
Rear tire pressure must be set at 28 psi (1.93 BAR) when
operating with a full load.
Never
exceed the maximum
pressure indicated on the tire.
Check the pressure with an accurate, low pressure tire
gauge. Due to the low volume of air needed, over-
inflation may be reached in a matter of two to three
seconds.
Keep tires inflated to:
Front and Rear - 50 psi - (3.44 BAR)
WARNING
Remove the fuel cap slowly. Fuel may be under
pressure. Spray could cause serious injury.
Never remove the fuel cap from the fuel tank or add
fuel when the engine is running or while the engine is
hot.
Do not smoke when handling fuel. Never fill or drain
the fuel tank indoors.
Do not spill fuel. If spilled, clean spilled fuel
immediately.
Never handle or store fuel containers near an open
flame or any device that may create sparks and ignite
the fuel or fuel vapors.
Be sure to reinstall and tighten fuel cap securely.
!
CAUTION
The use of any fuel containing greater than 10%
ethanol may harm the engine's emission control
system and therefore invalidate the emission-related
warranty through the improper action of the operator.
