Refueling

1. Make sure the telehandler is level to obtain an accu-
rate fuel level reading.
2. Shut off the engine.
3. Ground the fuel nozzle against the filler neck to avoid
sparks.
Note
The fuel tank capacity is 17 gallons (64.3 liters).
Warning
Engine fuel is flammable and can cause a fire or ex-
plosion resulting in death or serious injury. DO NOT
smoke while refueling and keep sparks and open
flames away from the telehandler.

Fuel Types

Caution
Use of improper grade of fuel may result in damage
to engine or exhaust system.
Use ASTM #2 diesel fuel with a minimum Cetane rating of
40 for better fuel economy and performance under most
operating conditions.
Use standard #2 diesel fuel for operating at temperatures
above 320 F (00 C).
Use a blend of #1 and #2 diesel fuel ("winterized" #2
diesel) for operating at temperatures below 320 F (00 C).
Fuels with Cetane ratings higher than 40 may be needed
in higher altitude or an extremely low temperature climate
to prevent misfiring and excessive smoke.
Note
Use only Ultra Low Sulfur fuel. Maximum sulfur content:
15 ppm.

Winter Operation With Diesel Fuel

Caution
For engines with common rail injection, the mixing
of petroleum and adding of extra low additives is not
permissible.
Special care is needed while operating in cold environ-
ment, such as winter or arctic operation.
At low ambient temperatures, paraffin discharges can
lead to blockages in the fuel system and cause operating
faults. For ambient temperature below freezing ( 32 °F /
0 °C) use winter diesel, suitable for temperatures down
to -4 °F (-20 °C).
XR5919-A
Note
Special diesel fuels can be used for arctic climates down
to -47 °F (-44 °C).

Attachments

Attachments Disclaimer

Warning
DO NOT exceed the manufacturer's rated load for
any auxiliary attachment. Any attempt to lift or carry
loads in excess of the manufacturer's rated load may
cause telehandler tip over, loss of load, or structural
damage which could result in death, serious injury,
or property damage.
Xtreme Manufacturing makes no representations or
warranties, expressed or implied, as to the design, man-
ufacture, or fitness for use with this telehandler of any
third party attachment. This telehandler is not intended
to be used and should not be used with an attachment
that would alter the center of gravity or stability of this
telehandler. Snorkel Manufacturing assumes no liability
for any third party attachment that would alter the center
of gravity or stability.

Fork Ratings

Figure 6.7 – Fork Ratings
Warning
DO NOT exceed telehandler capacity of 5,100 pounds
(2,313.3 kilograms). The total rated capacity of the
forks being used must equal or exceed telehandler
capacity. Forks can bend or break causing loss of
load and could result in death or serious injury.
All approved forks for this telehandler are marked with a
maximum load capacity rating (A). This rating is stamped
on the left edge of the fork just below the fork pivot shaft.
The rating listed is in U.S. pounds and is based upon a
24 inch (610 mm) load center (B). This rating specifies the
maximum load capacity that the individual fork can safely
carry at a maximum load center of 24 inches (610 mm).
