1. Use a clean rag to clean area around fuel tank cap.
2. Remove the cap from the fuel tank and fill the 5 gallon
tank to within 1 inch (25 mm) from the top with
unleaded gasoline. Install fuel cap tightly.

Check Hydraulic System Oil

Danger
HYDRAULIC FLUID ESCAPING UNDER
PRESSURE CAN PENETRATE SKIN AND DO
SERIOUS DAMAGE.
• Keep body and hands away from pin hole leaks
or nozzles that eject high pressure hydraulic
fluid. Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic
leaks. Fluid accidentally injected into the skin
must be surgically removed within a few hours
by a doctor familiar with this form of injury or
gangrene may result.
Recommended Oil
Mobil DTE 13M or equivalent ISO VG 32
Mobil DTE 26 or equivalent ISO VG 68
Important
Using Mobil DTE 26 or equivalent ISO VG
68 hydraulic oil when temperature at start–up is less than
40_ F (4.5_ C) could cause serious hydraulic system
damage.
1. Position the sweeper on a level surface and make sure
engine is off.
3. Wipe up any gasoline that may have spilled to prevent a
fire hazard.
Check level of hydraulic fluid before engine is first started
and daily thereafter. The hydraulic system is designed to
operate on Mobil DTE 13M or equivalent ISO VG 32
Wide–temperature, shear–stable hydraulic fluid with
controlled low–temperature flow properties and anti–wear
protection. The reservoir is filled at the factory with
approximately 28 quarts of Mobil DTE 13M hydraulic
fluid. Hydraulic oil viscosity (weight) must be selected
according to average anticipated ambient temperature.
Temperature/viscosity recommendations are as follows:
Expected Ambient Temperatures
Start–Up
Less than 40_ F–50_ F
(4.5_ C–10_ C)
Greater than 60_ F–70_ F
(15.5_ C–21_ C)
2. Remove dipstick cap (located under operators seat)
from filler neck and wipe it with a clean rag. Insert
dipstick cap onto filler neck; then remove it and check
level of oil. If level is below the L mark on dipstick, add
sufficient hydraulic fluid to bring to the F mark. DO
NOT OVERFILL.

Average Daily Temperature
Less than 80_ F (26.7_ C)
