In certain conditions during fueling, static
electricity can be released causing a spark
which can ignite the fuel vapors. A fire or
explosion from fuel can burn you and others
and can damage property.
• 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 gas-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.
Recommended fuel
The engine runs on No. 2-D or 1-D automotive type
diesel fuel with a minimum cetane rating of 40.
Note: Your engine may require a higher cetane-rated
fuel if you operate the machine at high altitudes or in
low atmospheric temperatures.
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 must meet
specification ASTM D6751 or EN14214.
• The blended fuel composition should meet ASTM
D975 or EN590.
• Painted surfaces may be damaged by biodiesel
blends.
• Use B5 (biodiesel content of 5%) or lesser blends
in cold weather.
• Monitor seals, hoses, gaskets in contact with fuel as
they may be degraded over time.
• Fuel filter plugging may be expected for a time after
converting to biodiesel blendsd.
• Contact your distributor if you wish for more
information on biodiesel.
Filling the Fuel Tank
The fuel tank capacity is approximately 10.6 US gallons
(40 l).
Note: The fuel tank cap contains a gauge which shows
the fuel level; check it frequently.
1. Position the sprayer on a level surface.
2. Set the parking brake, stop the pump, stop the
engine, remove the ignition key, and allow the
engine to cool.
3. Clean the area around the fuel tank cap (Figure 18).
