Thread the dipstick fill cap finger-tight onto
filler neck. It is not necessary to tighten cap
with a wrench.

Check all hoses and fittings for leaks.
FILL THE FUEL TANK
The engine runs on No. 2-D or 1-D automotive type
diesel fuel with a minimum cetane rating of 40.
Note;
Higher cetane rated fuel may be required if
the machine is to be used at high altitude and low-
atmospheric temperatures.
Use No. 2-D diesel fuel at temperatures above 20° F
(–7° C). and No. 1-D diesel fuel below 20° F (–7°
C). Use of No. 1-D diesel fuel at lower temperatures
provides lower flash point and pour point character-
istics, therefore easing startability and lessening
chances of chemical separation of the fuel due to low
temperatures (wax appearance, which may plug fil-
ters).
Use of No. 2-D diesel fuel above 20° F (–7° C) will
contribute toward longer life of the pump compo-
nents. Do not use furnace oil.
Store fuel outside of buildings in a convenient loca-
tion. Tipping the front of the tank up slightly will
allow contaminants to collect at the lower end away
from the outlet. Never empty the tank below 4 in.
(10 cm) from the bottom of the tank to avoid picking
up water and other contaminants that may have col-
lected at the bottom. Either filter the remainder at
the bottom through a chamois or dispose of it peri-
odically to prevent excessive build-up of contami-
nants.
Keep all fuel containers free of dirt, water, scale and
other contaminants. Many engine difficulties can be
traced to contaminants in the fuel.
Use only metal containers for fuel storage. DO NOT
store the fuel in a galvanized metal container. A
chemical reaction will result, which will plug the fil-
ters and cause possible fuel system damage.
If possible, fill the fuel tank at the end of each day.
This will prevent possible buildup of condensation
inside the fuel tank, preventing possible engine dam-
age. Allow the engine to thoroughly cool down
before refueling.
1.
Using a clean cloth, clean the area around the
fuel tank cap.
2.
Remove cap from the fuel tank (Fig. 6) and fill
the 8 gallon (34 l) tank to within 1 inch (25
mm) from the top with diesel fuel. Install fuel
tank cap tightly after filling tank.
Before Operating
12
Because diesel fuel is flammable, use caution
when storing or handling it. Do not fill the fuel
tank while the engine is running, hot or when
the machine is in an enclosed area. Vapors may
build up and be ignited by a spark or flame
source many feet away. DO NOT SMOKE
while filling the fuel tank to prevent the possi-
bility of an explosion. Always fill the fuel tank
outdoors and wipe up any spilled diesel fuel
before starting the engine. Use a funnel or
spout to prevent spilling diesel fuel and fill the
tank to about 25 mm below the filler neck.
Store diesel fuel in a clean, safety-approved
container and keep the cap in place on the con-
tainer. Keep diesel in a cool, well-ventilated
place; never in an enclosed area such as a hot
storage shed. To assure volatility and to prevent
contamination, do not buy more than a 6-month
supply.
