Fuel System
Filling the Fuel Tank
The fuel level in the tank is indicated by the fuel gauge
(1) on the console. See Figure 4-6.
The fuel tank inlet is located inside the engine compart-
ment. To fill the tank, push the engine cover latch but-
ton, raise the engine cover and remove the fuel filler
cap (2). See Figure 4-6. Fill the fuel tank with clean
diesel fuel with a cetane rating over 45. After fueling,
re-install fuel cap, and close and latch the engine cover.

IMPORTANT
Unless draining fuel tank for servicing,
never operate the machine until the fuel
tank is completely empty. The fuel system
has to be bled of air whenever the fuel tank
is run empty. Always fill the fuel tank after
use.
IMPORTANT
When using the machine in cold weather, it
is important to use the proper fuel blend to
prevent the fuel “gelling”. See the engine
operator’s manual for fuel blend infomation
related to temperature. Fuel gelling can per-
manently clog the fuel filter and water sepa-
rator elements, requiring replacement.
WARNING
Always clean up spilled fuel and oil. Keep
heat, flames, sparks and lighted tobacco
away from fuel and oil. Failure to use care
around combustibles can cause explosion
or fire, which can result in injury or death.
DANGER
When handling fuel, there is a high risk of
fire. Never work on the fuel system around
open flames or sparks. DO NOT smoke
when working on the fuel system or refuel-
ing. Before refueling, turn off the engine
and remove the ignition key. Do not refuel
in closed rooms. Wipe up fuel spills imme-
diately. Keep the machine clean to reduce
the risk of fire.
