Adding Fuel

Fuel tank capacity is approximately 12.8 gallon
(48 l).
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
to the bottom of the filler neck.
• 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. Using a clean rag, clean area around fuel tank
cap.
2. Remove cap from the fuel tank (Figure 23).

Checking the Rear Axle
Lubricant (Model 30309
only)
The rear axle has three separate reservoirs which
use SAE 80W-90 wt. gear lube. Although the axle
is shipped with lubricant from the factory, check
the level before operating the machine.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Remove check plugs from axle and make sure
lubricant is up to bottom of each hole. If
level is low, remove fill plugs and add enough
lubricant to bring the level up to the bottom of
the check plug holes (Figure 24 and Figure 25).
