3. NEVER fuel the machine indoors or in an enclosed
trailer.
4. NEVER store the machine or fuel container where
there is an open flame, spark or pilot light such as on
a water heater or other appliances.
5. NEVER fill containers inside a vehicle or on a
truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place
containers on the ground away from your vehicle
before filling.
6. Remove the machine from the truck or trailer and
fuel on level ground. If this is not possible, then refuel
the machine with a portable container, rather than
from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

tank or container opening at all times until fueling is
complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
8. If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing
immediately and wash affected skin.
9. NEVER over fill the fuel tank. Replace gas cap and
tighten the fuel cap until it ratchets.

7.6 ENGINE AIR CLEANER
A. CLEANING AND/OR REPLACING AIR
CLEANER ELEMENT

air cleaner service periods. Inspect and clean the air filter
after every 100 hours of operation. Replace the air cleaner

first. Refer to Engine Operator’s Manual.

In extremely dusty conditions it may be necessary
to check the element once or twice daily to prevent
engine damage.

to the air cleaner assembly. See Figure 7-8.

recommended by the engine manufacturer. Refer to
Engine Operator's Manual.
