the fuel system becomes contaminated or if the machine is to be
stored for an extended period. Use clean fuel to flush out the
tank.
Fuel Lines and Connections
Check lines and connections every 400 hours or yearly,
whichever comes first. Inspect for deterioration, damage, or
loose connections.
Because diesel fuel is flammable, use caution when storing or
handling it. Do not smoke while filling the fuel tank. Do not
fill the fuel tank while the engine is running, hot, or when the
machine is in an enclosed area. Always fill the fuel tank out-
side and wipe up any spilled diesel fuel before starting the
engine. Store fuel in a clean, safety-approved container and
keep the cap in place. Use diesel fuel for the engine only; not
for any other purpose.
Draining The Fuel Filter/Water Separator
Drain water or other contaminants from the fuel filter/water
separator daily.
1. Place a clean container under the fuel filter.
2. Loosen the drain screw on bottom of the fuel filter and
press the primer plunger until only fuel is evident draining
into container.
3. Tighten the drain screw.
Changing The Fuel Filter
Replace the fuel filter if the fuel flow becomes restricted, after
every 400 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes
first.
1. Loosen the bolt and unscrew the bottom filter cap from the
filter assembly. Remove the cap, gaskets, o-ring and filter
from the assembly.
Note the position of the gaskets and o-ring when disassem-
bling from the filter.
2. Install a new filter, gaskets, o-ring with the filter assembly
cap.
3. Prime the fuel system, refer to Priming The Fuel System.
