Fire hazard!
▶
When handling diesel fuel, observe the following precautions:
1. Do not smoke. Keep any type of flame away.
2. Never fill the tank when the engine is running.
3. Wipe up spilled fuel immediately. Always tighten the fuel tank cap securely.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
Warning

The fuel tank filler cap
①
is installed as shown
in the right-hand figure. Observe the following:
1. Before removing the cap, wipe all dust and dirt
from around the cap to prevent debris from
falling into the tank while filling.
2. Use an approved fuel container and check the
inside of the container periodically for
cleanliness.
For fuel tank capacity, see chapter 5-3,
“Lubricants and Capacity” or the last page in
this manual.
3. If there is no filter on the storage tank or fuel
container, filter the fuel through a 100-mesh or
finer screen when filling the tractor fuel tank.
4. Keep the tractor tank as full as possible
(without filling to capacity) to minimize
condensation. Fill to the bottom of the filler
neck to allow room for expansion.
NOTE: It is a good practice to fill the fuel tank at
the end of each day, as this will reduce
overnight condensation.

(5) Refueling the tractor
 Do not mix gasoline, alcohol or blended fuels to diesel fuel. These mixtures are explosive in fuel
tank.
 Never remove the fuel cap or refuel with the engine running or hot.
 Maintain control of the fuel filler nozzle when filling the fuel tank.
 Never use fuel for cleaning purposes.
 Arrange fuel purchases so that summer grade fuels are not held over and used in the winter.

Before handling Bio-diesel, refer to the chapter 5-1-(4) in this manual.
NOTE: The fuel cap is a vented-type. Use only an approved replacement cap to prevent fuel system-
related problems.
