BChecking Amount of Fuel and Refueling
To avoid serious injury or death:
A Handle fuel carefully. If the engine is running,
do not fill the fuel tank. If engine is hot, let
engine cool several minutes before adding fuel.
Do not smoke while filling the fuel tank or
servicing the fuel system. Fill fuel tank only to
bottom of filler neck.
Check the fuel level. Take care that the fuel tank does not
become empty.
Fuel tank capacity
A Use Diesel Fuel Only
1. Use No.2 diesel fuel.
2. Use No.1 diesel fuel if the temperature is below
-10 (14 ).
3. Always use a strainer when refueling to prevent fuel
injection pump contamination.
A Do not permit dirt or trash or water to get into the fuel
system.
A Be careful not to let the fuel tank become empty,
otherwise air will enter the fuel system, necessitating
bleeding before next engine start.
A Be careful not to spill fuel during refueling. If a spill
should occur, wipe it off at once, or it may cause a fire.
A To prevent condensation (water accumulation) in the
fuel tank, fill the tank before parking overnight.
