After washdown is complete, maintenance must be
performed as directed in the Maintenance and
Service Procedures sections.

Filling the fuel tank at the end of the shift will
force most of the air out of the tank. This action
will minimize the water condensation that can hap-
pen in the air space as the tank cools.
