Before Operating
Before operating, check the fuel and oil level, remove
debris from the traction unit, ensure that the water is
drained from the fuel filter, and check the tire
pressure. Also, ensure that the area is clear of people
and debris. You should also know and have marked
the locations of all utility lines.
Adding Fuel
The engine runs on clean, fresh diesel fuel with a
minimum cetane rating of 40. Purchase fuel in
quantities that can be used within 30 days to ensure
fuel freshness.
Use summer grade diesel fuel (No. 2–D) at
temperatures above 20
F (–7 C) and winter grade
diesel fuel (No. 1–D or No. 1–D/2–D blend) below
20
F (–7 C). Use of winter grade diesel fuel at
lower temperatures provides lower flash point and
pour point characteristics, allowing easier starts and
lessening the chances of chemical separation of the
fuel due to lower temperatures.
Use of summer grade diesel fuel above 20 F (–7 C)
will contribute toward longer life of the fuel pump
components.
IMPORTANT: Do not use kerosene or
gasoline in place of diesel fuel. Failure to
observe this caution will damage the engine.
1. Park the traction unit on a level surface, lower
the loader arms, and stop the engine.
2. Remove the key and allow the engine to cool.
3. Clean around the fuel tank cap and remove the
cap.
4. Use a funnel and add diesel fuel to the fuel tank,
until the level is 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 mm to
13 mm) below the bottom of the filler neck.
Note: This space in the tank allows fuel to
expand. Do not fill the fuel tank
completely full.
5. Install the fuel tank cap securely. Wipe up any
fuel that may have spilled.
If possible, fill the fuel tank after each use. This will
minimize possible buildup of condensation inside the
fuel tank.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
•
Under certain conditions fuel is extremely
flammable and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
•
A fire or explosion from fuel can burn you,
others, and cause property damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
•
Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors,
in an open area, when the engine is cold.
Wipe up any fuel that spills.
•
Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
Add fuel to the fuel tank until the level is
1/4” to 1/2” (6 mm to 13 mm) below the
bottom of the filler neck. This empty space
in the tank allows fuel to expand.
•
Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay
away from an open flame or where fuel
fumes may be ignited by a spark.
•
Store fuel in an approved container and
keep it out of the reach of children. Never
buy more than a 30-day supply.
