Adding Fuel

Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Use only clean, fresh diesel fuel with low (<50 ppm) or
ultra-low (<15 ppm) sulfur content. The minimum cetane
rating should be 40. Purchase fuel in quantities that can be
used within 180 days to ensure fuel freshness.
Fuel tank capacity: 45 L (11.9 US gallons)
Use summer-grade diesel fuel (No. 2-D) at temperatures
above -7° C (20° F) and winter-grade (No. 1-D or No.
1-D/2-D blend) below that temperature. Use of winter-grade
fuel at lower temperatures provides lower flash point and
cold flow characteristics which will ease starting and reduce
fuel filter plugging.
Use of summer-grade fuel above -7° C (20° F) will contribute
toward longer fuel pump life and increased power compared
to winter-grade fuel.
Important: Do not use kerosene or gasoline instead of
diesel fuel. Failure to observe this caution will damage
the engine.
WARNING
Fuel is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term
exposure to vapors can cause serious injury and
illness.
• Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
• Keep your face away from the nozzle and fuel
tank or conditioner opening.

• Keep fuel away from your eyes and skin.
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.
• Never fill the fuel tank inside an enclosed trailer.

• 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 180-day supply of fuel.
• Do not operate the machine without the entire
exhaust system in place and in proper working
condition.
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 equipment from the
truck or trailer and fuel the equipment with the
wheels on the ground.
If this is not possible, then fuel such equipment
on a truck or trailer from a portable container
rather than from a fuel dispenser nozzle.
• If you must use a fuel dispenser nozzle, keep the
nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank
or container opening at all times until fueling is
complete.
