used on each fuel tank cap to prevent unauthorized
removal of the cap.

Filling the Fuel Tank
WARNING: POTENTIAL HAZARD
Fuel is extremely flammable and highly
explosive. Personal injury and property
damage may result.
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors in an open area.
Do not fill when the engine is hot. Wipe up
any fuel spills.
• Never fill the fuel tank completely full.
Empty space in tank allows fuel to
expand.
• Never smoke when handling fuel. Stay
away from open flames. Fuel fumes can
be ignited by sparks.
• Store fuel in an approved container. Keep
out of reach of children.
For each tank:
1. The unit should be parked on a level surface with
the lift arms lowered, the engine off, and the key
removed.
2. Clean around the fuel tank cap before removing.
Refer to Engine Manual for correct type and grade
of fuel. Leave 1 to 2 inches (25 mm to 50 mm) of
air space below the bottom of the filler neck. Air
space in the tank will allow the fuel to expand.
Never fill the fuel tank completely full.
3. Replace the fuel tank cap securely. Wipe up any
fuel that may have spilled.
RADIATOR OVERFLOW TANK (DIESEL)
The radiator overflow tank maintains radiator
fluid level.
NOTE: When engine is cold, tank should be
1-1/2" (3.8 cm) full from bottom of tank.
TO STOP IN AN EMERGENCY
Turn ignition switch to OFF.
