Checking/Adding Fuel - Ferris F800X Series Dealer Service Manual

Checking / Adding Fuel
To add fuel:
1. Remove the fuel cap.
2. Fill the tank to about 1-1/2" (3,81 cm) from the bottom
of the filler neck. This will allow for fuel expansion.
NOTE: Do not overfill. Refer to your engine manual for
specific fuel recommendations.
3. Install and hand tighten the fuel cap.
4. Repeat same process for opposite tank.
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns
or death.
• 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.
• 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.
NOTICE
Do not use Kerosene in place of diesel fuel or mix with
diesel fuel. Kerosene will damage the engine.
Consult the engine manufacturer's manual for specific fuel
recommendations.
