Draining the Fuel Tank
DANGER
In certain conditions, fuel is extremely flammable
and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from fuel
can burn you and others and can damage property.
• Drain fuel from the fuel tanks when the engine
is cold. Do this outdoors in an open area. Wipe
up any fuel that spills.
• Never smoke when draining fuel, and stay away
from an open flame or where a spark may ignite
the fumes.
1. Park the traction unit on a level surface, to ensure
that the fuel tanks drain completely.
2. Lower the loader arms, stop the engine, and remove
the key.
3. Shut off the fuel valve in the hose near the bottom
of the fuel tank (Figure 33).
