•
If you spill fuel on your clothing, change your clothing
immediately. Wipe up any fuel that spills.
•
Never overfill the fuel tank. Replace the fuel cap and
tighten it securely.
•
Store fuel in an approved container and keep it out of the
reach of children. Never buy more than a 30-day supply
of fuel.
•
Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add fuel to the
fuel tank until the level is 6 to 13 mm (1/4 to 1/2 inch)
below the bottom of the filler neck. This empty space in
the tank allows fuel to expand.
– Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
– Keep your face away from the nozzle and fuel tank
opening.
– Avoid contact with skin; wash off spills with soap and
water.
Recommended Fuel
The engine runs on clean, fresh diesel fuel with a minimum
octane rating of 40. Purchase fuel in quantities that can be
used 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, therefore easing startability and
lessening chances of chemical separation of the fuel due to
lower temperatures (wax appearance, which may plug filters).
Using summer-grade diesel fuel above -7°C (20°F) contributes
toward longer life of the pump components.
Important:
Do not use kerosene or gasoline instead of
diesel fuel. Failure to observe this caution will damage
the engine.
Biodiesel Ready
This machine can also use a biodiesel blended fuel of up
to B20 (20% biodiesel, 80% petrodiesel). The petrodiesel
portion should be low or ultra low sulfur.
Observe the following precautions:
•
The biodiesel portion of the fuel meet specification
ASTM D6751 or EN14214.
•
The blended fuel composition should meet ASTM D975
or EN590.
•
Painted surfaces may be damaged by biodiesel blends.
• Use B5 (biodiesel contend of 5%) or lesser blend in cold
weather.
•
Monitor seals, hoses, gaskets in contact with fuel as they
may degrade over time.
•
Fuel filter plugging may be expected for a time after
converting to biodiesel blends.
•
Contact your distributor if you wish for more information
on biodiesel.
Filling the Fuel Tank
1. Park the machine on level ground.
2. Shut off the engine and engage the parking brake.
3. Clean around the fuel-tank cap.
4. Fill the fuel tank to the bottom of the filler neck ( Figure
7 ).
Note:
Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. The
empty space in the tank allows the fuel to expand.
