Important: Be very careful not to get dirt or other
contaminants into the opening when checking the
oil.
3. Wipe the dipstick clean with a cloth and replace it
completely in the tank.
4. Remove the dipstick from the filler neck and check the
fluid level. The fluid level should be within the safe
operating range on the dipstick

5. If the oil is low, fill the tank with the specified hydraulic
fluid or equivalent to raise the level to the upper mark.
6. Install the dipstick cap into the tank and secure.
Checking the Brakes
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Before starting the sprayer, lightly press the brake pedal. If
the pedal travels more than 2.5 cm (1 inch) before you feel
resistance, adjust the brakes; refer to
(page
53).
WARNING
If you operate the sprayer with poorly adjusted
or worn brakes, you could lose control of the
sprayer, resulting in serious injury or death to you
or bystanders.
Always check the brakes before operating the
sprayer and keep them properly adjusted and
repaired.

Adding Fuel
DANGER
In certain conditions, fuel is extremely flammable
and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from fuel
can burn you and others and can damage property.
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, when
the engine 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 25 mm (1 inch)
below the bottom of the filler neck. This empty
space in the tank allows 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 an approved container and keep it
out of the reach of children. Never buy more
than a 30-day supply of fuel.
DANGER
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.
Important: Your 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.
