Checking the Tire Pressure
Service Interval:
Before each use or daily
DANGER
Low tire pressure decreases the side-hill
stability of the machine. This could cause a
rollover, which may result in personal injury
or death.
Do not under-inflate the tires.
Front tire pressure specification:
179 kPa (26 psi)
Rear tire pressure specification with a cargo load
of 227 kg (500 lb) or less:
193 kPa (28 psi)
Rear tire pressure specification with a cargo load
of more than 227 kg (500 lb):
221 kPa (32 psi)
Important:
Check the tire pressure frequently
to ensure proper inflation. If the tires are not
inflated to the correct pressure, the tires will wear
prematurely and may cause the 4-wheel drive to
bind.

Adding Fuel
Recommended Fuel
The engine runs on clean, fresh diesel fuel with
a minimum cetane rating of 40. Purchase fuel in
quantities that you can use within 30 days to ensure
fuel freshness.
Use summer-grade diesel fuel (No. 2-D) at
temperatures above -7°C (20°F) and winter grade
diesel fuel (No. 1-D or No. 1-D/2-D blend) below
-7°C (20°F). Use of winter-grade diesel fuel at lower
temperatures provides lower flash point and pour point
characteristics, allowing easier starts and lessening
the chances of chemical separation of the fuel due to
lower temperatures.
Using summer-grade diesel fuel above -7°C (20°F)
contributes toward longer life of the fuel-pump
components.
Important:
Never use kerosene or gasoline in
place of diesel fuel. Failure to observe this caution
will damage the engine.
Filling the Fuel Tank
Fuel-tank capacity:
32 L (8.5 US gallons)
1.
Clean the area around the fuel-tank cap.
2.
Remove the fuel-tank cap.
3.
Fill the tank to approximately 25 mm (1 inch)
below the bottom of the filler neck and install
the cap.
Note:
Do not overfill the fuel tank.
4.
Install the fuel-tank cap securely.
5.
Wipe up any spilled fuel.
