The fuel level in the tank is indicated by the fuel gauge on
the console (Figure 4-6).
NOTE: When the fuel level reaches 2.5 gal. (2.3 L) the
low fuel indicator light (Figure 4-6) will come on to alert
the operator.
To fill the tank, remove the fuel filler cover located on the
right-side of the machine. Fill using diesel fuel with a cetane
rating of over 45. Re-install fuel cap.
IMPORTANT: Never operate machine until fuel tank
is completely empty. If this occurs, the fuel system
will have to be bled of air. Always fill tank after use.
Unscrew the clear plastic housing (Figure 4-9) to change the
filter element and clean dirt from the housing. Clean around
the filter housing. Put oil on the seal of the new filter ele-
ment. Install the fuel filter and hand tighten.
The fuel system must be purged of air after changing the fuel
filter, or if the fuel tank has been run dry.
1. Turn the fuel filter valve (Figure 4-7) to the open posi-
tion (vertical).
2. While operating the priming lever on the fuel injector
pump, loosen the air bleeding screw (A, Figure 4-8) on
the fuel filter. When fuel starts flowing from the bleeder
valve (A) without any air, tighten the bleeder screw (A).
3. Repeat step 2 for bleeder screws B, C, D and E
(Figure 4-8).
