Regular Maintenance
CHECKING / ADDING FUEL
To add fuel:
NOTE: Refer to the Diesel Fuel Specification Chart
(Figure 17) for specific fuel recommendations.
1. Remove the fuel cap (A, Figure 18).
2. Fill the tank to the bottom of the fill tube. This will
leave room in the tank for fuel expansion.
3. Install and hand tighten the fuel cap.
4. Repeat same process for opposite tank.
WARNING
Diesel fuel is highly flammable and must be
handled with care. Never fill the tank when the
engine is still hot from recent operation. Do
not allow open flame, smoking or matches in
the area. Avoid over-filling and wipe up any
spills.
Do not drain or replace fuel filter when engine
is hot, as spilled fuel may ignite. Make sure the
filter drain valve is fully closed before returning
the unit to service.
WARNING
Fuel leaked or spilled onto hot surfaces or
electrical components can cause a fire. To help
prevent possible injury, turn the ignition switch
off when changing fuel filters or water
separator elements. Clean up fuel spills
immediately.

FUEL FILTER

This unit is equipped with two fuel filters. One is a
water separator (A, Figure 20) mounted to the frame
near the engine, and the fuel filter (A, Figure 3) is
located under the seat. The water separator should
be drained every 25 hours or whenever water is
visible in the bowl. Replace both fuel filters every 400
hours of operation or as required.
Removing the Rear Engine Guard:
The rear engine guard must be removed to gain
access to the water separator.
1. Turn the engine off, set the parking brake, remove
the ignition key, and wait for all moving parts to
stop.
2. Remove the rear engine guard retaining bolts (A,
Figure 19).
3. Remove the rear engine guard (B) by sliding it
backwards and away from the machine.
