Using Pump Free-Wheel Valves CAUTION: Avoid injury! With the free-wheeling valve open, the machine will have unrestricted motion. • The machine may free-wheel out of control if the free- wheeling valve is opened with the machine on an incline. • Park the machine on a level surface before opening the free-wheeling valve.
Service Intervals Servicing Your Machine IMPORTANT: Avoid Damage! Operating in extreme conditions may require more frequent service intervals: • Engine components may become dirty or plugged when operating in extreme heat, dust or other severe conditions. • Engine oil may lose efficiency if vehicle is operated constantly at slow or low engine speeds or with frequent short trips.
Checking Engine Oil Level IMPORTANT: Avoid Damage! Failure to check the oil level regularly could lead to serious engine problems if oil level is low: Check oil level before operating. Keep oil level between the FULL and the ADD marks. Check oil level when engine is stopped, level, and is cooled so oil has had time to drain into the sump.
14. Insert dipstick. Tighten cap. 15. Start engine and run at slow throttle for approximately two minutes. Check for leaks around filter and drain valve. 16. Stop engine. 17. Check oil level: • Remove dipstick cap. Wipe dipstick clean. NOTE: Allow dipstick cap to rest on threads of filler tube when checking oil level.
3. Slide hose clamps (A) away from fuel filter (B). 4. Place drain pan under hoses to catch any fuel that may be left in the hoses. 5. Disconnect hoses from fuel filter (B). 6. Install new fuel filter (B). •...
