on the dipstick; refer to Servicing Engine Oil, in
the Engine Maintenance section, for the proper
oil type and viscosity. Add the oil slowly and
check the level often during this process. Do
not overfill.

4. Install the filler cap.
5. Install the dipstick firmly in place.
Check the Tire Pressure
Check the tire pressure every 8 hours or daily to
ensure proper levels. Fill the tires to 18 psi (124 kPa).
Also, check the tires for wear or damage.
Add 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 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.
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.
g002207
• 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.
Recommended fuel
The 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.
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 blendsd.
•
Contact your distributor if you wish for more
information on biodiesel.
