FUEL TANK (Figure 16)
The tractor is equipped with a fuel tank located just
forward of instrument panel. Fill the fuel tank at the
end of each day’s operation. This will help to prevent
condensation and moisture from collecting in the fuel
system. Excessive moisture in the fuel system clogs
fuel filter and may damage fuel injection equipment.
There is a fuel shut-off valve and sediment bowl with
filter located below injection pump. Check sediment
bowl daily for excessive sediment and clean if
necessary.
CAUTION: Diesel fuel can be dangerous.
Never fill fuel tank when engine is running,
when engine is hot, while near an open flame,
or when operator ts smoking. DO NOT OVERFILL TANK.

AIR CLEANER - DRY TYPE (Figure 17)
The engine is equipped with a dry-type air cleaner with
a removable filter element that can be cleaned and
reused. Proper servicing of the air cleaner will greatly
increase the period between engine overhauls and will
reduce downtime. Because some engines operate con¬
stantly in a dusty atmosphere and others operate in
relatively clean air, each engine air cleaner will require
servicing at different intervals.
SERVICING AIR CLEANER CUP (Figure 17)
Clean the air cleaner cup daily, or as often as needed,
to prevent dust from building up closer than 1/2” (13
mm) from the slot in the baffle support. The air cleaner
element will not need to be cleaned as often, if the air
cleaner cup is cleaned regularly.
To service the air cleaner cup, stop the engine and
open the hood. Unfasten clamps, and remove the dust
cup.
Remove the dirt baffle from the air cleaner cup and
dump out the dirt. Wipe the baffle and cup clean with a
dry cloth; do not use an oil saturated cloth. Replace
the baffle in the cup, making sure that it is properly
seated. Reinstall the air cleaner cup on the air cleaner
housing, making sure the slot in the baffle support is at
the top, and with the arrows and the word “Top” on the
air cleaner cup pointing upward. Fasten the clamps.
Then close the tractor hood.
NOTE: Align tab of baffle and notch of air cleaner
housing when replacing cup.
