operation, thereafter change oil and filter every 100 hours.

seal.

Servicing the Fuel System
Draining the Fuel Tank
Drain and clean fuel tank every 800 hours of operation or
yearly, whichever comes first. Also, drain and clean tank if
fuel system becomes contaminated or if machine is to be
stored for an extended period. Use clean fuel to flush out
the tank.
Danger
Because diesel fuel is highly flammable, use
caution 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 starting the engine. Store
fuel in a clean, safety–approved container
and keep cap in place. Use diesel fuel for the
engine only; not for any other purpose.
Checking the Fuel Lines and Connections
Check lines and connections every 400 hours or yearly,
whichever comes first. Inspect for deterioration, damage, or
loose connections.
Draining the Fuel Filter/Water Separator
Drain water or other contaminants from fuel filter/water
separator daily.
1. Place a clean container under fuel filter (Fig. 42).
