Attaching a Trailer
The maximum weight of a towed trailer should be less than
300 lbs (138kg). Secure the trailer with an appropriately sized
clevis pin (A, Figure 25) and clip (B).
25
Excessive towed loads can cause loss of traction and loss of
control on slopes. Reduce towed weight when operating on
slopes. The surface being driven on greatly impacts traction
and stability. Wet or slippery surfaces can greatly reduce
traction and the ability to stop or turn. Carefully evaluate
the surface conditions before operating the unit and trailer,
and never operate on slopes greater than 10°. See SLOPE
OPERATION and TOWED EQUIPMENT in the safety section
of this manual for additional safety information.
Static Electricity Hazard when Fueling
with Ultra-low Sulfur Diesel Fuel
The removal of sulfur and other compounds in ultra-low sulfur
diesel fuel (ULSD fuel) decreases the conductivity of ULSD
and increases the ability of ULSD to store static charge.
Refineries may have treated the fuel with a static dissipating
additive. Many factors can reduce the effectiveness of the
additive over time. Static charges can build up in ULSD fuel
while the fuel is flowing through fuel delivery systems. Static
electricity discharge when combustible vapors are present
could result in a fire or explosion. Ensure that the entire
system used to refuel your machine (fuel supply tank, transfer
pump, transfer hose, nozzle, and others) is properly grounded
and bonded.
WARNING
Avoid static electricity risk when fueling. Ultra-low sulfur
diesel fuel (ULSD fuel) poses a greater static ignition hazard
than earlier diesel formulations with higher sulfur contents.
Avoid death or serious injury from fire or explosion. Consult
with your fuel or fuel system supplier to ensure the delivery
system is in compliance with fueling standards for proper
grounding and bonding practices.
Checking/Adding Fuel
To add fuel:
1. Using a clean rag or cloth wipe any dirt or debris from
around the fuel caps (A, Figure 26) and the fuel filler
necks.
26
Note: Do not overfill the fuel tank. Refer to your engine
manual for specific fuel recommendations.
2. Fill the fuel tank to the bottom of the fill tube. This will
leave room in the tank for fuel expansion.
3. Install and hand tighten the fuel cap.
4. Repeat the same process for the opposite tank.
NOTICE Use ultra low sulfur fuel only.
Consult the engine manufacturer’s manual for specific fuel
recommendations.
NOTICE Do not use Kerosene in place of diesel fuel or
mix with diesel fuel. Kerosene will damage the engine.
Consult the engine manufacturer’s manual for specific fuel
recommendations.
WARNING
Diesel fuel is highly flammable and must be handled with
care. Never fill the tank when the engine is still hot from
recent operation. Do not allow open flame, smoking or
matches in the area. Avoid over-filling and wipe up any
spills.
Do not drain or replace fuel filter when engine is hot, as
spilled fuel may ignite. Make sure the filter drain valve is
fully closed before returning the unit to service.
