Fuel is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term
exposure to vapors can cause serious injury and
illness.
• Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
• Keep your face away from the nozzle and
gas tank or conditioner opening.
• Keep fuel away from your eyes and skin.
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.
• Before removing the fuel tank cap, make
sure the vehicle is positioned on a level
surface. Open fuel tank cap slowly.
• 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 1 in.
(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
container and keep the cap in place.
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 blends.
• Contact your distributor if you wish for more
information on biodiesel.
1. Clean the area around the fuel tank cap.
