4. Remove dipstick from filler neck and wipe it with
a clean rag. Insert dipstick into filler neck; then
remove it and check level of fluid. Fluid level should
be 1/4 inch of mark on dipstick. Do not overfill.
5. If level is low, add appropriate fluid to raise level
to full mark.
6. Install dipstick and cap onto filler neck.
Checking the Reel to Bedknife
Contact
Each day before operating, check reel to bedknife
contact, regardless if the quality of cut had previously
been acceptable. There must be light contact across
the full length of the reel and the bedknife (refer to
Adjusting the Reel to Bedknife in the cutting unit
Operator's Manual).
Check the Torque of the Wheel
Nuts
Torque the wheel nuts to 70 to 90 ft-lb (94 to 122
N⋅m). after 1-4 hours of operation and again after 10
hours of operation. Torque every 250 hours thereafter.
Failure to maintain proper torque of the wheel
nuts could result in personal injury.

Bleeding the Fuel System

You must bleed the fuel system before starting the
engine if any of the following situations have occurred:
• Initial start up of a new machine.
• Engine has ceased running due to lack of fuel.
• Maintenance has been performed upon fuel system
components; i.e., filter replaced, separator serviced,
etc.
Under certain conditions, diesel fuel and fuel
vapors are highly flammable and explosive. A
fire or explosion from fuel can burn you and
others and can cause property damage.
• Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors,
in an open area, when the engine is off and
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 in. (6 to 13 mm) below the bottom of
the filler neck. This empty space in the tank
allows the 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 a clean, safety-approved
container and keep the cap in place.
1. Park the machine on a level surface and ensure that
the fuel tank is at least half full.
2. Open the hood.
3. Open the air bleed screw on the fuel injection pump
(Figure 37) with a 12 mm wrench.

4. Turn the key in the ignition switch to the On
position. The electric fuel pump will begin
operation, thereby forcing air out around the air
