CAUTION
Because diesel fuel is flammable, use caution
when storing or handling it. Do not smoke
while filling the fuel tank. Do not fill fuel tank
while engine is running, hot or when machine
is in an enclosed area. Always fill fuel tank
outside and wipe up any spilled diesel fuel
before starting the engine. Store fuel in a
clean, safety-approved container and keep
cap in place. Use diesel fuel for the engine
only; not for any other purpose.
1. Park machine on a level surface. Make sure fuel tank
is at least half full.
2. Unlatch and raise hood.
2. Open fuel shut-off valve under fuel tank and on fuel
filter.
3. Open two (2) bleed screws, on side of fuel filter
mounting head, allowing bowl to re-fill with fuel. Close
bleed screws when bowl is filled.
4. On left side of engine (below alternator) locate trans­
fer pump inlet screw. Note angle of fitting on transfer
pump inlet and loosen screw (left screw only).
5. When a steady stream of fuel flows out of transfer
pump screw, tighten screw, retaining angle of fitting
before loosening.

engine.
