Every 1000 hours

Fuel tank sediment

WARNING
Hot liquid under pressure!
Fuel in the high pressure fuel line is still under pressure immediately after you shut down the engine.
Before performing any maintenance or inspection, wait for 2 minutes after engine shutdown to allow
the pressure to drop.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Chemical hazard!
When handling fuel, lubricants, and other service chemicals, follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as instructed. Do not smoke or use open flame. Collect
fluids in proper containers. Obey all local and environmental regulations when disposing of chemi-
cals.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
Drain condensation from the fuel tank when the hour meter registers 1000 hours of operation and every 1000 hours
thereafter. Drain more frequently if conditions so require. The fuel tank drain is located on the left side of the machine.
Prior operation:
Keep all unauthorized personnel clear of the area. Park the machine on level ground, in neutral with the parking
brake applied, and the attachment lowered to the ground. Make sure that all residual pressure is relieved from circuits
before beginning maintenance.
1. On machines with the environmental drain option, a fuel
tank drain hose is supplied and located behind a bolt-on
panel on the left side of the machine. Have a suitable
container ready to collect the condensation and fuel.
Dispose of the waste following local regulations.
NOTE: On machines that are not equipped with the environmental drain option, connect a drain hose to the fuel tank
drain valve. The drain valve is accessible through the right rear access panel or by removing the cab floor access
panel and tilting back the operator's seat.
