Adding Fuel
Service Interval:
Before each use or daily
Use only clean, fresh diesel fuel with low (<50 ppm)
or ultra-low (<15 ppm) sulfur content. The minimum
cetane rating should be 40. Purchase fuel in quantities
that can be used within 180 days to ensure fuel
freshness.
Fuel tank capacity:
45 L (11.9 US gallons)
Use summer-grade diesel fuel (No. 2-D) at
temperatures above -7° C (20° F) and winter-grade
(No. 1-D or No. 1-D/2-D blend) below that
temperature. Use of winter-grade fuel at lower
temperatures provides lower flash point and cold flow
characteristics which will ease starting and reduce
fuel filter plugging.
Use of summer-grade fuel above -7° C (20° F) will
contribute toward longer fuel pump life and increased
power compared to winter-grade fuel.
Important:
Do not use kerosene or gasoline
instead of diesel fuel. Failure to observe this
caution will damage the engine.
WARNING
Fuel is harmful or fatal if swallowed.
Long-term exposure to vapors can cause
serious injury and illness.
•
Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
•
Keep your face away from the nozzle and
fuel tank or conditioner opening.
•
Keep fuel away from your eyes and skin.
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.
•
Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area,
when the engine is cold. Wipe up any fuel
that spills.
•
Never fill the fuel tank inside an enclosed
trailer.
•
Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay
away from an open flame or where fuel
fumes may be ignited by a spark.
•
Store fuel in an approved container and
keep it out of the reach of children. Never
buy more than a 180-day supply of fuel.
•
Do not operate the machine without the
entire exhaust system in place and in
proper working condition.
DANGER
In certain conditions during fueling, static
electricity can be released, causing a spark
which can ignite the fuel vapors. A fire or
explosion from fuel can burn you and others
and can damage property.
•
Always place fuel containers on the ground
away from your vehicle before filling.
•
Do not fill fuel containers inside a vehicle
or on a truck or trailer bed because interior
carpets or plastic truck-bed liners may
insulate the container and slow the loss of
any static charge.
•
When practical, remove equipment from
the truck or trailer and fuel the equipment
with the wheels on the ground.
If this is not possible, then fuel such
equipment on a truck or trailer from a
portable container rather than from a fuel
dispenser nozzle.
•
If you must use a fuel dispenser nozzle,
keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of
the fuel tank or container opening at all
times until fueling is complete.
1.
Park the machine on a level surface.
2.
Using a clean rag, clean the area around the
fuel tank cap.
3.
Remove the cap from the fuel tank.
