
Change the engine oil and oil filter after a shorter period than normal (approximately
one-half the normal period) if using a high-sulfur (sulfur content of between 5,000 to
10,000ppm) fuel.

Do not use a fuel with a sulfur content of 10,000ppm or more.

Ultra-low sulfur fuel must be used if using the equipment in a region subject to EPA
exhaust gas regulations. Use No. 2-D S15 in place of No. 2-D in such areas. Use No.
1-D S15 in place of No. 1-D in regions where the temperature is -10

C or less.

Always be sure to use the fuel strainer attached to the fuel inlet.

Add fuel until the tank is slightly less than full.

Do not open the fuel inlet cover except when refueling. Leaving the fuel inlet cover
open can result in rainwater flowing into the equipment and cause the fluids in the
spill containment (oil and similar fluids) to spill out of the equipment.
7-4. Spill Containment Inspection
Warning: Fire

Spilled fuel and oil accumulates in the spill containment. Do not operate the
equipment with liquid accumulated in the spill containment.
Open the right door, check inside of the spill containment, and drain any liquid that has
accumulated. (Refer to section "12.(7) Draining Liquid from the Spill Containment".)
<Note>

It is necessary to periodically drain the liquid from within the equipment because any
rainwater that leaks into the equipment also accumulates in the spill containment.

Although the fluids that can leak internally consist of oil, fuel and cooling water, the
spill containment does not have a function that can separate rainwater that has leaked
into the equipment from these internally leaked fluids. Properly dispose of liquid
drained from the spill containment in a manner according to the applicable laws and
regulations.
7-5. Inspection for Fuel/Oil/Cooling Water Leakage
Warning: Fire

Absolutely never use the equipment if there is a fuel, oil or cooling water leak, and
be sure to always repair the leak before using.
Open the right door and check for fuel leakage from fuel line joints and similar
components, and check for oil and cooling water leakage. Open the fuel tap to perform
inspection and close it after inspection has been completed.
7-6. Battery Inspection
Warning: Injury to Eyes and Skin

Use protective gear, such as rubber gloves, when inspecting or replacing the battery
due to the dilute sulfuric acid in the battery fluid. Be sure that fluid does not get into
eyes, or on skin or clothing.

If battery fluid gets into the eyes, or on the skin or clothing, immediately wash with a
large amount of water, and always be especially sure to seek medical attention if it
gets into the eyes.
Warning: Explosion

Do not operate the equipment or recharge the battery when the battery fluid level is
below the lower level.

Do not generate any sparks near the battery and do not allow any fire or other open
flame near the equipment because the battery generates ignitable gas.
