FUEL SYSTEM (Fig. 37 & 38)
Fuel Tank
Drain and clean the fuel tank every 800 hours of operation or year-
ly, whichever comes first. Also, drain and clean the tank if the fuel
system becomes contaminated or if the machine is to be stored for
an extended period. Use clean fuel to flush out the tank.
Because diesel fuel is flammable, use caution when stor-
ing or handling it. Do not smoke while filling the fuel
tank. Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is run-
ning, hot, or when the machine is in an enclosed area.
Always fill the fuel tank outside and wipe up any spilled
diesel fuel before starting the engine. Store fuel in a
clean, safety-approved container and keep the 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, damage, or loose connections.
Draining The Fuel Filter/Water Separator
Drain water or other contaminants from the fuel filter/water separa-
tor daily.
1.
Place a clean container under the fuel filter.
2.
Loosen the drain screw on bottom of the fuel filter and press
the primer plunger until only fuel is evident draining into con-
tainer.
3.
Tighten the drain screw.
Changing The Fuel Filter
Replace the fuel filter if the fuel flow becomes restricted, after
every 400 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first.
1.
Loosen the bolt and unscrew the bottom filter cap from the fil-
ter assembly. Remove the cap, gaskets, o-ring and filter from
the assembly.
