Operation

Note:
Determine the left and right sides of the
machine from the normal operating position.

Adding Fuel

The engine runs on clean, fresh diesel fuel with
a minimum octane rating of 40. Purchase fuel in
quantities that you can use within 30 days to ensure
fuel freshness.
Use summer grade diesel fuel (No. 2-D) at
temperatures above -7°C (20°F) and winter grade
diesel fuel (No. 1-D or No. 1-D/2-D blend) below
-7°C (20°F). Use of winter grade diesel fuel at lower
temperatures provides lower flash point and pour
point characteristics, therefore easing startability and
lessening chances of chemical separation of the fuel
due to lower temperatures (wax appearance, which
may plug filters).
Use of summer grade diesel fuel above -7°C
(20°F) contributes toward longer life of the pump
components.
Important:
Do not use kerosene or gasoline
instead of diesel fuel. Failure to observe this
caution will damage the engine.
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.
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 on level ground,
in an open area, when the engine is cold.
Wipe up any fuel that spills.
• Never fill the fuel tank inside an enclosed
trailer.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
Fill the fuel tank to the bottom of the filler
neck. The empty space in the tank allows
fuel to expand. Overfilling may result in
fuel leakage or damage to the engine or
emission system (if equipped).
• 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 30-day supply of fuel.
• 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 fuel-powered
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.

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 meet specification
ASTM D6751 or EN14214.
