DANGER
To prevent bodily injury or death from the unexpected startup of the machine, always stop the engine and remove the
key from the ignition before leaving the operator's seat for any reason.
WARNING
• To prevent personal injury or death from an explosion or fire, do NOT allow open flames or sparks near the
windrower when it is being refueled.
• Do NOT refuel the windrower when the engine is hot or running.
• Ensure that the fuel delivery system is properly bonded and grounded. A bonded fuel delivery system has an
electrically conductive and unbroken connection between all components of the fuel delivery system. A wire
connection from the fuel delivery system to the machine chassis will equalize the static potential between the two
machines, further reducing the chance of a static electric discharge. A properly grounded fuel delivery system has
an electrically conductive connection from the fuel delivery system tank to the ground.
IMPORTANT:
Do NOT allow the fuel tank to empty. Running out of fuel can cause air locks and/or contamination of the fuel system. For
instructions, refer to Priming Fuel System, page

expansion. A filled tank could overflow if the temperature
of the fuel increases.
