WARNING
Fuel oil in the injection system is under high
pressure and can penetrate the skin.
Unqualified persons should not remove or
attempt to adjust a pump injector, nozzle, or
any part of the fuel injection system.
• Do not use your hand to check for leaks.
Use a piece of cardboard or paper to
search for leaks.
• If any fluid is injected into the skin, obtain
medical attention immediately or
gangrene may result.
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in serious injury.
Refueling the Tractor
The fuel tank filler cap
①
is located at the rear
of the front food. Before removing the cap, wipe
all dust and dirt from around the cap to prevent
debris from falling into the tank during filling.
Use an approved container and check the inside
of the container periodically for cleanliness. The
tractor fuel tank capacity is 54 L.
NOTE: The fuel cap is a vented-type. Use only
an approved SHIBAURA replacement cap to
prevent fuel system-related problems.
If there is no filter on the storage tank or fuel
container, filter the fuel through a 100-mesh or
finer screen when filling the tractor fuel tank.
Keep the tractor tank as full as possible (without
overfilling) to minimize condensation.
NOTE: It is a good practice to fill the fuel tank at
the end of each day, as this will reduce overnight
condensation.
