PRE-OPERATIONAL CHECKLIST
ENGINE COOLANT
CAUTION!
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.
To check the engine coolant level, open and prop the Engine Cover
(3)
and observe the coolant level on the Coolant Recovery Tank
(6)
. If the level is low add
automotive type anti-freeze appropriately diluted for the environment. Clean the radiator and oil cooler exteriors by washing with low-pressure water or using
compressed air every 30 hours. Service Note: The oil cooler tips out for easy cleaning.
ENGINE AIR FILTER
Check the Air Filter Service Indicator
(5)
before each use of the machine. Do not service the air
fi
lter unless the red
fl
ag is visible in the service indicator.
CAUTION!
When servicing the engine air
fi
lter elements, use extreme care to prevent loose dust from entering the engine. Dust can severely
damage the engine.
The engine air
fi
lter contains a Primary (outer) and a Safety (inner)
fi
lter element. The Primary Element may be cleaned twice before being replaced. The Safety
Element should be replaced every third time that the Primary Filter Element is replaced. Never attempt to clean the Inner Safety Element.
To clean the Primary Filter Element, unsnap the 2 clips at the end of the air
fi
lter and remove the end housing. Pull the primary element out. Clean the element
with compressed air (maximum pressure 100 psi) or wash it with water (maximum pressure 40 psi). DO NOT put the element back into the canister until it is
completely dry.
FUEL
WARNING!
• ALWAYS STOP THE ENGINE BEFORE FILLING THE FUEL TANK.
• DO NOT SMOKE WHILE FILLING THE FUEL TANK.
• FILL THE FUEL TANK IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA.
• DO NOT FILL THE FUEL TANK NEAR SPARKS OR OPEN FLAME.
• USE ONLY THE FUEL SPECIFIED ON THE FUEL TANK DECAL.
On machines with diesel engines, a decal near the Fuel Tank
(14)
fi
ller neck shows the proper fuel to use in the machine. Before removing the cap from the tank,
wipe all dust and dirt from the cap and from the top of the tank to keep the fuel as clean as possible.
On machines with propane engines, a decal near the tank gives speci
fi
c information about the proper type of tank to be used on the machine.
DIESEL ENGINE
Fill the tank with Number 2 Diesel Fuel if the machine will be used in an area where the temperature is 30° Fahrenheit (0° Celsius) or higher. Use Number 1
Diesel Fuel if the machine will be used in an area where the temperature is below 30° Fahrenheit (0° Celsius).
NOTE: If the diesel machine runs out of fuel completely, the fuel system must be bled before the engine can be re-started. To avoid this situation,
fi
ll the fuel tank
when the fuel gauge indicates 1/4 tank. Fuel tank capacity is 11 gallons (42 liters).
LPG ENGINE
Mount a standard 33 lb. liquid withdrawal propane tank on the machine, connect the fuel hose and open the shutoff valve on the tank. Wear gloves when
connecting or disconnecting the fuel hose. Shut the propane tank service valve OFF when the machine is not in use.
The machine shall be inspected by a quali
fi
ed person regularly, in particular regarding the LPG container and their connections, as required for safe operation by
regional or national regulations.
