Operation

Note: Determine the left and right sides of the
machine from the normal operating position.
You could fall off of the platform and be
seriously injured during operation.
Do not move the control levers unless you
are standing with both feet on the platform
and your hands are holding the handles.
If you operate the traction unit with out
the covers or guards in place, you could be
seriously injured by moving parts.
Do not operate the traction unit with any of
the covers or guards opened or removed.
Before operating, check the fuel and oil level,
remove debris from the traction unit, and check
the tire pressure. Also, ensure that the area is clear
of people and debris. You should also know and
have marked the locations of all utility lines.

Adding Fuel

In certain conditions, fuel is flammable and
explosive. A fire or explosion can burn you
and others and can damage property.
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open
area, when the engine is cold. Wipe up
any fuel that spills.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
Add fuel to the fuel tank until the level
is 1/4 to 1/2 inches (6 to 13 mm) below
the bottom of the filler neck. This empty
space in the tank allows fuel to expand.
• Never smoke when handling fuel, and
stay away from an open flame or where
fuel fumes may be ignited by a spark.
• Store fuel in an approved container and
keep it out of the reach of children.
Never buy more than a 30-day supply.
The engine runs on clean, fresh diesel fuel with
a minimum cetane rating of 40. Purchase fuel
in quantities that can be used within 30 days to
ensure fuel freshness.
Use summer grade diesel fuel (No. 2-D) at
temperatures above 20° F (-7° C) and winter grade
diesel fuel (No. 1-D or No. 1-D/2-D blend) below
20° F (-7° C). Use of winter grade diesel fuel at
lower temperatures provides lower flash point and
pour point characteristics, allowing easier starts
and lessening the chances of chemical separation
of the fuel due to lower temperatures.
Use of summer grade diesel fuel above 20° F (-7°
C) will contribute toward longer life of the fuel
pump components.
Important: Do not use kerosene or gasoline
in place of diesel fuel. Failure to observe this
caution will damage the engine.
1. Park the traction unit on a level surface, lower
the loader arms, and stop the engine.
2. Remove the key and allow the engine to cool.
3. Clean around the fuel tank cap and remove
the cap.
4. Add diesel fuel to the fuel tank, until the level
is 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 mm to 13 mm) below the
bottom of the filler neck.
Note: This space in the tank allows fuel to
expand. Do not fill the fuel tank completely
full.
5. Install the fuel tank cap securely. Wipe up any
fuel that may have spilled.
If possible, fill the fuel tank after each use. This
will minimize possible buildup of condensation
inside the fuel tank.
Draining Water from the
Fuel Filter
Drain water or other contaminants from the fuel
filter daily.
1. Stop the engine and remove the key.
2. Open the rear access cover.
3. Turn the drain valve until the water runs out of
the filter (Figure 11).
Note: The fuel filter is located near the
bottom of the fuel tank.
