ASSEMBLY
To avoid sparks and a possible explosion or fire due
to a short circuit, do not touch the positive (+) battery
terminal and any surrounding metal with tools, jewelry
or other metal objects. When installing battery cables,
connect the positive (+) cable first and the negative (-)
cable last.
WARNING
Gasoline and diesel fuels are highly
flammable and their vapors are
explosive. To prevent personal injury or
property damage:
Store fuel only in approved containers,
in well ventilated, unoccupied buildings,
away from sparks or flames. A container
with a capacity of 2 gallons or less with
a pouring spout is recommended. Do
not fill the fuel tank while the engine is hot or running,
since spilled fuel could ignite if it comes in contact
with hot parts or sparks from ignition. Do not start the
engine near spilled fuel. Never use fuel as a cleaning
agent.
DO NOT MIX OIL WITH FUEL.
WARNING
Use only those types of fuels that are recommended in
your engine owner’s manual.
To add fuel:
1. Stop engine and wait for all parts to stop moving.
Remove key from key switch. Allow the engine and
muffler to cool for at least three minutes.
2.
Clean area around fuel fill cap and remove cap.
3.
Using a clean funnel, fill fuel tank to 1/2" below bottom
of filler neck to provide space for any fuel expansion.
Install fuel fill cap securely and wipe up any spilled
gasoline.
Hydraulic fluid drives the feed roller. The machine was
shipped with fluid, as it was tested at the factory. However,
check the fluid levels before initial operation and add if
necessary.
The hydraulic pump requires premium hydraulic fluids
containing high quality rust, oxidation, and foam inhibitors.
These include premium turbine oils, API CD engine oils
per SAE J183, M2C33F or G automatic transmission
fluids meeting Allison C-3 or Caterpillar TO-2, and certain
specialty agricultural tractor fluids.
You will need to purchase a battery. Choose a battery
that meets or exceeds the engine manufacturer’s
specifications. Consult your engine owner’s manual or
authorized dealer for specification details.
Check the level of coolant before you start the diesel
engine. While operating, make sure the fluid is between
the full and the low marks. Add if necessary. Refer to the
engine owner’s manual for further coolant information.
For additional information, please see the chart under
Temperature Operating Window (Section 7).
