Refueling the Tractor

The fuel tank filler cap (1) in Figure 3-1, is located
at the rear of the front food. Before removing the
cap, wipe all dust and dirt from around the cap to
prevent debris from falling into the tank during
filling.
Use an approved container and check the inside
of the container periodically for cleanliness. The
tractor fuel tank capacity is 54 L.
NOTE: The fuel cap is a vented-type. Use only an
approved SHIBAURA replacement cap to prevent
fuel system-related problems.
If there is no filter on the storage tank or fuel
container, filter the fuel through a 100-mesh or
finer screen when filling the tractor fuel tank.
Keep the tractor tank as full as possible (without
overfilling) to minimize condensation.
NOTE: It is a good practice to fill the fuel tank at
the end of each day, as this will reduce overnight
condensation.
WARNING
Keep any type of open flame away from the
tractor and do not smoke while refueling.
Wait for the engine to cool before refueling.
