MAINTENANCE
EVERY 50 HOURS
DRAINING THE WATER FROM THE FUEL
TANK
• Do not smoke or permit open flames
while handling fuel or working on the
fuel system.
• Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel
when the engine is running or still hot.
Do not spill fuel on the hot surface of
the machine.
• Fill the fuel tank in a well ventilated
place.
• Do not fill the fuel tank to capacity.
Allow room for oil expansion.
• Clean up spilled fuel immediately.
• Securely tighten the fuel filler cap.
• Use the correct grade of fuel for the
operating season.
• Before performing maintenance on top
of the work bench, clean the footing and
observe the following precautions to
prevent falling.
· Do not spill oil or grease.
· Do not leave tools scattered around.
· Watch your step when walking.
• Never jump down from the machine or
the work bench. When getting on or off
the machine or work bench, use the
steps, handrails or work bench to
support your body. Your weight should
be evenly distributed among the three
contact points (one hand and two feet
or two hands and one foot).
• Do not stand on the dozer blade and
perform maintenance work. Doing so is
dangerous because of the unsteady
foothold. Use the work bench.
Do the draining operation before starting the
machine.

2. Remove the fuel filler cap (2).
3. Place a pan under the drain valve (3).
4. Remove the cap (A), install the connector

cap (A).
6. Add fuel while watching the sight gauge

Bleeding air from the fuel system
Refer to “Bleeding air from the fuel system”
on page 6-8.
Note: Air in the fuel system causes the
engine to fail to start or to have problems.
Bleed air when the fuel tank is emptied,
using the same procedure above.
