Fuel System Service

Fuel Tank
Drain and clean fuel tank every 800 hours of operation or
yearly, whichever comes first. Also, drain and clean tank
if fuel system becomes contaminated or if machine is to
be stored for an extended period. Use clean fuel to flush
out the tank.
Because diesel fuel is highly flammable,
use caution when storing or handling it.
Do not smoke while filling the fuel tank. Do
not fill fuel tank while engine is running,
hot, or when machine is in an enclosed
area. Always fill fuel tank outside and wipe
up any spilled diesel fuel before starting
the engine. Store fuel in a clean, safety–
approved container and keep cap in
place. Use diesel fuel for the engine only;
not for any other purpose.
Fuel Lines and Connections
Check lines and connections every 400 hours or yearly,
whichever comes first. Inspect for deterioration, dam­
age, or loose connections.
