Proper machine operation depends upon a properly
maintained machine. This section provides a list of items
to be checked, inspected or changed periodically.
When performing maintenance, always park motor
grader on level ground with the moldboard on the ground
and implements pinned in place or lowered to the ground.
Dispose of all used fluids and filters according to federal,
state and local regulations.
WARNING:
NEVER LUBRICATE, SERVICE OR
ADJUST MACHINE WITH ENGINE RUNNING,
EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN THIS MANUAL OR
THE SERVICE AND REPAIR MANUAL.
ADDING FUEL
CAUTION:
WHEN HANDLING DIESEL FUEL,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
DO NOT SMOKE AROUND DIESEL FUEL. UNDER
NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD GASOLINE,
ALCOHOL, GASOHOL OR DIESELHOL (A
MIXTURE OF DIESEL FUEL AND ALCOHOL) BE
ADDED TO DIESEL FUEL BECAUSE INCREASED
FIRE OR EXPLOSION RISKS. IN A CLOSED
CONTAINER, SUCH AS A FUEL TANK, THEY ARE
MORE EXPLOSIVE THAN PURE GASOLINE. DO
NOT USE THESE BLENDS. ADDITIONALLY,
DIESELHOL IS NOT APPROVED DUE TO
POSSIBLE INADEQUATE LUBRICATION OF THE
FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM.
SECTION 3 - LUBRICTATION AND MAINTENANCE
CLEAN FILLER CAP AREA AND KEEP FREE OF
DEBRIS.
KEEP CONTROL OF THE FUEL NOZZLE WHILE
FILLING FUEL TANKS.
DO NOT FILL TANK TO CAPACITY. ALLOW
ROOM FOR EXPANSION. IF ORIGINAL FUEL
TANK CAP IS LOST, REPLACE IT WITH A NEW
CAP AND TIGHTEN SECURELY.
WIPE UP SPILLED FUEL IMMEDIATELY.
The quality of the fuel used is important to maintaining
a dependable machine. Fuels must be clean, well-
refined and noncorrosive to fuel system parts.
Using fuel with a sulfur content above 0.50% requires
more frequent oil changes.
Using fuel with a sulfur content above 1.30% is not
recommended.
Do not use Number 2-D fuel at temperatures below
20°F (-7°C). The cold temperatures will cause Number
2-D fuel to thicken, which may prevent the engine from
running.
For the best fuel economy, use Number 2-D fuel
whenever temperature permits.
