DANGER
Because diesel fuel is highly flammable, use cau-
tion when storing or handling it. Do not smoke
while filling the fuel tank. Do not fill fuel tank
while engine is running, hot, or when machine is
in an enclosed area. Always fill fuel tank outside
and wipe up any spilled diesel fuel before start-
ing the engine. Store fuel in a clean, safety−ap-
proved container and keep cap in place. Use die-
sel fuel for the engine only; not for any other
purpose.
There are 2 fuel filters on the RM 4000−D. A small in−
line filter is located on top of the fuel tank and behind the
the radiator (Fig. 15). The fuel filter/water seperator is lo-
cated near the left rear end of the engine (Fig. 16).
Replace fuel filters if fuel flow becomes restricted, after
every 400 hours of operation or annually, whichever
comes first.
