3. Use a rag to clean around the oil dipstick
that dirt cannot fall into the dipstick tube and damage
the engine.

1. Fill cap
4. Remove the oil dipstick and wipe the end clean.
5. Slide the oil dipstick into the dipstick tube fully seating
it
(Figure
17).
6. Pull the dipstick out and look at the end
Note: If the oil level is low, remove the filler cap from
the engine and add the specified oil to raise the level up
to, but not over, the Full mark on the dipstick. Add the
oil slowly and check the level often during this process.
Do not overfill the engine with oil..
7. Install the oil dipstick and firmly seat it
8. Lower the cargo box; refer to
(page

Checking the Tire Air Pressure
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Tire Air Pressure Range: 55 to 103 kPa (8 to 22psi)
Important: Do not exceed the maximum air pressure
indicated on the sidewall of the tire.
Note: The air pressure needed in the tires is determined by
the payload that you intend to carry.
1. Check the air pressure in the tires.
Note: The air pressure range in the front and rear tires
is 55 to 103 kPa (8 to 22psi).
•
Use lower air pressure in the tires for lighter
payloads, for less the soil compaction, for a

smoother the ride, and to minimize tire marks in
the ground.
•
Use higher air pressure in the tires for carrying
heavier payloads at higher speeds.
2. If needed, adjust the air pressure in the tires by adding
or removing air in the tires.
Adding Fuel
The engine runs on clean, fresh diesel fuel with a minimum
cetane rating of 40. Purchase fuel in quantities that can be
used within 30 days to ensure fuel freshness.
Use summer grade diesel fuel (No. 2-D) at temperatures
above 20° F (–7° C) and winter grade diesel fuel (No. 1-D
or No. 1-D/2-D blend) below 20° F (–7° C). Use of winter
grade diesel fuel at lower temperatures provides lower flash
point and pour point characteristics, allowing easier starts and
lessening the chances of chemical separation of the fuel due
to lower temperatures.
Use of summer grade diesel fuel above 20° F (–7° C) will
contribute toward longer life of the fuel pump components.
Important: Never use kerosene or gasoline in place of
diesel fuel. Failure to observe this caution will damage
the engine.
DANGER
In certain conditions, fuel is extremely flammable
17).
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.
• Never fill the fuel tank inside an enclosed trailer.
17).
• 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 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.
• Do not operate without entire exhaust system in
place and in proper working condition.
