Fuel System
Maintenance
Servicing the Fuel Tank
Service Interval: Every 400 hours
Yearly
Drain and clean the fuel tank if the fuel system becomes
contaminated or if you plan to store the machine for an
extended period. Use clean fuel to flush out the tank.
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 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 1 inch
(25 mm) 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 fuel
container and keep the cap in place.
Checking the Fuel Line and
Connections
Service Interval: Every 50 hours
Every 400 hours
Yearly
Check the fuel lines and connections every 400 hours
or yearly, whichever comes first. Inspect the lines
and connections for deterioration, damage, or loose
connections.
Bleeding the Fuel System
1. Park the machine on a level surface.
2. Ensure that the fuel tank is at least half full.
