WARNING
Fuel is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term
exposure to vapors can cause serious injury and
illness.
• Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
• Keep face away from nozzle and fuel tank or
conditioner opening.
• Keep fuel away from eyes and skin.
Biodiesel Ready
This machine can also use a biodiesel blended fuel of up
to B20 (20% biodiesel, 80% petrodiesel). The petrodiesel
portion must be ultra low sulfur. Observe the following
precautions:
•
The biodiesel portion of the fuel must meet specification
ASTM D6751 or EN14214.
•
The blended fuel composition should meet ASTM D975
or EN590.
•
Painted surfaces may be damaged by biodiesel blends.
•
Use B5 (biodiesel content of 5%) or lesser blends in cold
weather.
•
Monitor seals, hoses, and gaskets in contact with fuel as
they may be degraded over time.
•
Fuel filter plugging may be expected for a time after
converting to biodiesel blends.
•
Contact your distributor if you wish for more information
on biodiesel.
DANGER
In certain conditions, fuel is extremely flammable
and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from fuel
can burn you and others and can damage property.
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, when
the engine is cold. Wipe up any fuel that spills.
• Never fill the fuel tank inside an enclosed trailer.
• 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 180-day supply of fuel.
• Do not operate machine without entire exhaust
system in place and in proper working condition.
DANGER
In certain conditions during fueling, static
electricity can be released causing a spark which
can ignite the fuel vapors. A fire or explosion from
fuel can burn you and others and can damage
property.
• Always place fuel containers on the ground away
from your vehicle before filling.
• Do not fill fuel containers inside a vehicle or on
a truck or trailer bed because interior carpets
or plastic truck bed liners may insulate the
container and slow the loss of any static charge.
• When practical, remove equipment from the
truck or trailer and refuel the equipment with its
wheels on the ground.
• If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment
on a truck or trailer from a portable container,
rather than from a fuel-dispenser nozzle.
• If a fuel-dispenser nozzle must be used, keep the
nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank
or container opening at all times until fueling is
complete.
1. Park the machine on a level surface.
2. Clean the are around the fuel-tank cap with a clean rag.
3. Remove the cap from the fuel tank
1. Fuel-tank cap
4. Fill the tank with diesel fuel until the level reaches the
bottom of the filler neck.
5. Install the fuel-tank cap tightly after filling the tank.
Note: If possible, fill the fuel tank after each use. This
minimizes possible buildup of condensation inside the
fuel tank.
