Biodiesel Ready
This machine can also use a biodiesel blended fuel of up to
B20 (20% biodiesel, 80% petrodiesel). The petrodiesel
portion should be low or 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, 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

2. Remove fuel tank cap.
3. Fill tank to bottom of filler neck. DO NOT
OVERFILL. Then install cap.
4. Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled to prevent a fire
hazard.
Check Cooling System
Clean debris off radiator and oil cooler daily (Fig. 28),
hourly if conditions are extremely dusty and dirty; refer to
Cleaning Radiator.
1. The cooling system is filled with a 50/50 solution of
water and permanent ethylene glycol anti–freeze. Check
level of coolant at beginning of each day before starting
the engine. Capacity of cooling system is approximately
6 quarts.
Caution
• If engine has been running, pressurized hot
coolant can escape when radiator cap is
removed and cause burns.
