Fuel tanks
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
It is recommended that fuel be added to both
tanks on initial start up.
Read the safety instructions before refueling. The
machine has two fuel tanks, one on each side just
behind the seat. The capacity for each tank is 6
gallons (11.4 liters).
Regularly check the fuel cap gasket for damage and
keep the cap properly tightened.
The use of low sulfur fuel or ultra low sulfur fuel is
mandatory for when the unit is operated in areas
regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA). Use No.2-D S500 or S15 diesel fuel as an
alternative to No.2-D, and use No.1-D S500 or S15
diesel fuel as an alternative to No.1-D for ambient
temperatures below 14 °F (−10 °C) to help insure
good cold weather starting.
