4. While pulling the throttle cable, to remove any slack,
tighten the throttle cable connector.
Note: When tightened, the cable pivot must be free to
swivel on the injection pump lever arm.

Fuel System
Maintenance
DANGER
Under certain conditions, diesel fuel and fuel
vapors are highly flammable and explosive. A fire
or explosion from fuel can burn you and others and
can cause property damage.
• Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors, in
an open area, when the engine is off and is cold.
Wipe up any fuel that spills.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add
fuel to the fuel tank until the level is 6 to 13 mm
(1/4 to 1/2 inch) below the bottom of the filler
neck. This empty space in the tank allows the
fuel to expand.
• Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay away
from an open flame or where fuel fumes may be
ignited by a spark.
• Store fuel in a clean, safety-approved container
and keep the cap in place.
Draining the Fuel Tank
Service Interval: Every 800 hours
Before storage
Drain and clean the fuel 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.
Checking the Fuel Lines and
Connections
Check the fuel lines and connections every 400 hours or
yearly, whichever comes first. Inspect them for deterioration,
damage, or loose connections.
Servicing the Water Separator
Service Interval: Every 400 hours
Drain water or other contaminants from water separator
(Figure 46) daily. Replace filter canister after every 400 hours
of operation.
1. Place a clean container under the fuel filter.
2. Loosen the drain plug on the bottom of the filter
canister.
