Operation
Engine fuel is flammable and
can cause a fire or explosion
resulting in death or serious in-
jury. DO NOT smoke while refu-
eling and keep sparks and open
flames away from the telehandler.
Warning
Refueling
Fuel Types
Use ASTM #2 diesel fuel with a minimum Cetane rating of 40
for better fuel economy and performance under most operat-
ing conditions.
Use standard #2 diesel fuel for operating at temperatures
above 320 F (00 C).
Use a blend of #1 and #2 diesel fuel (“winterized” #2 diesel) for
operating at temperatures below 320 F (00 C).
Fuels with Cetane ratings higher than 40 may be needed in
higher altitude or an extremely low temperature climate to
prevent misfiring and excessive smoke.
NOTE:
Use only Ultra Low Sulfur fuel. Maximum sulfur con-
tent: 15 ppm.
Use of improper grade of fuel may result in damage to
engine or exhaust system.
Caution
NOTE: The fuel tank capacity is 17 gallons (64.3 liters).
1. Make sure the telehandler is level to obtain an accurate
fuel level reading.
2. Shut off the engine.
3. Ground the fuel nozzle against the filler neck to avoid
sparks.

Diesel and gasoline engine exhaust and some
of its constituents are known by the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm.

Warning
Winter Operation With Diesel Fuel
Special care is needed while operating in cold environment,
such as winter or arctic operation.
At low ambient temperatures, paraffin discharges can lead to
blockages in the fuel system and cause operating faults. For
ambient temperature below freezing ( 32 °F / 0 °C) use winter
diesel, suitable for temperatures down to -4 °F (-20 °C).
NOTE:
Special diesel fuels can be used for arctic climates
down to -47 °F (-44 °C).
For engines with common rail injection, the mixing of pe-
troleum and adding of extra low additives is not permis-
sible.
Warning
6. If the telehandler is parked on an incline, block the wheels.
7. Depending on the situation, you may choose to use
the Battery Disconnect Switch. However, you should
wait 2 minutes after the engine is shut down before
disconnecting the battery with the switch. This operation
is necessary so that the engine ECU has enough time to
write the data from the volatile memory after the engine
is off.
THROWING THE BATTERY DISCONNECT SWITCH TOO
EARLY MAY CONFUSE THE ECU IF THE WRITING PROCESS
IS NOT COMPLETED.
8. Turn the Fuel Shut-off Valve to the OFF (Closed) position.
It is located on the engine tray in the front.
