A Do not permit dirt or trash 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 during refueling. If should spill,
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.
A No.2-D is a distillate fuel of lower volatility for engines
in industrial and heavy mobile service.

BChecking Engine Oil Level
To avoid personal injury:
A Be sure to stop the engine before checking the
oil level.
1. Park the machine on a flat surface.
2. Check engine oil before starting the engine or 5
minutes or more after the engine has stopped.
3. To check the oil level, draw out the dipstick, wipe it
clean, replace it, and draw it out again. Check to see
that the oil level lies between the two notches.
If the level is too low, add new oil to the prescribed
level at the oil inlet.
(See "LUBRICANTS" in "MAINTENANCE" section.)
