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.
• Never fill the fuel tank inside an enclosed
trailer.
• 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 180-day supply of fuel.
• Do not operate machine without entire
exhaust system in place and in proper
working condition.
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 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.
Fuel Tank Capacity
Fuel tank capacity: 53 L (14 US gallons)
Fuel Specification
Important:
Use only ultra-low sulphur diesel
fuel. Fuel with higher rates of sulfur degrades
the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), which causes
operational problems and shortens the service life
of engine components.
Failure to observe the following cautions may
damage the engine.
•
Never use kerosene or gasoline instead of diesel
fuel.
•
Never mix kerosene or used engine oil with the
diesel fuel.
•
Never keep fuel in containers with zinc plating on
the inside.
•
Do not use fuel additives.
Petroleum Diesel
Cetane rating: 45 or higher
Sulfur content: Ultra-low sulfur (<15 ppm)

•
Use only clean, fresh diesel fuel or biodiesel fuels.
•
Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within
180 days to ensure fuel freshness.
Use summer-grade diesel fuel (No. 2-D) at
temperatures above -7°C (20°F) and winter-grade
fuel (No. 1-D or No. 1-D/2-D blend) below that
temperature.
Note:
Use of winter-grade fuel at lower temperatures
provides lower flash point and cold flow characteristics
which eases starting and reduces fuel filter plugging.
Using summer-grade fuel above -7°C (20°F)
contributes toward longer fuel pump life and increased
power compared to winter-grade fuel.
Biodiesel
This machine can also use a biodiesel blended fuel of
up to B20 (20% biodiesel, 80% petroleum diesel).
